Kuma hikes a new trail: Groom Creek in Prescott

Great views from Groom Creek trail

I don’t think my mom understands what Labor Day means. While lots of folks were resting and relaxing, she picked out a long hike in Prescott for us to do. She heard good things about the Groom Creek Trail, so off went. Originally, we were going to stay up in Prescott and camp, but our […]

Kuma heads to Greer, Arizona

Kuma by Little Colorado River

I don’t like storms much, but mom and dad were sure glad when the monsoons finally arrived the other day. We got an inch of rain! The next day, we loaded up the camper and headed toward Greer, Arizona. We traveled once to Big Lake, and I remember it taking forever to get there, so […]

Kuma enjoys Granite Basin Lake

Granite Basin Lake

Can it get any hotter? Mom says it was 130 degrees at Death Valley the other day. Well, duh! Death by heat! No thanks. We’ve been struggling to find places that are cooler this summer, and we decided to give Prescott a try this past weekend. We got up when it was still dark – […]

Q&A with Kuma

Kuma with fall color

I don’t know about you, but me and my family didn’t do much this weekend. The temperatures are high and the humidity up – even in the north county. There doesn’t seem to be a place to escape the hot season right now, and we keep waiting for the monsoons to start with no luck. […]

Boondocking Near Marshall Lake in Flagstaff

Kuma explores Marshall Lake

  What a weird year this has been! Between COVID-19 closures and my dad’s truck needing repairs, we haven’t gone camping yet – and it is mid-July! Crazy but that all changed this weekend. Dad’s truck is fixed, and he hooked up the camper so we could head north to cool off. Mom’s goal was […]

Kuma hikes the Woods Canyon Lake loop trail

Kuma hikes around Woods Canyon Lake

Have I told you lately that I just love my life? I’m one lucky pup! My folks are always looking for places to take me in the summer to escape the heat. We took my car (okay, it’s really my mom’s, but she calls it the Kuma Kar so it must be true!) instead of […]

Kuma Hikes the Ocotillo Trail @ 7th Avenue

Kuma on the Ocotillo trail

May marked five years since we have moved from Houston, TX to Phoenix AZ. How time flies! My brother is turning 18 years old, and I am 11 ½. This past weekend, we celebrated Edmond’s birthday a little early. Mom says at his age, he deserves a birthday month. I’m down with that since it […]

Kuma Loves Bismarck Lake in Flagstaff, AZ

Bismarck Lake in Flagstaff

  Today is June 1, and we’ve had July/August temperatures for weeks now. Eesh. It’s gonna be one long, hot summer. Thankfully, we have the ability to head to higher elevation relatively easily from Phoenix where we can find cooler temperatures. This weekend we did just that and got on I-17 toward Flagstaff. I was […]

Happy Mother’s Day @ Lynx Lake

Lynx Lake in Prescott

This past weekend was Mother’s Day. I don’t really remember my doggy mom as I left her when I was only eight weeks old. I have a toy in my kennel from my days with her, and it reminds me to be grateful for her giving life to me. I sort of remember Beth who […]

Kuma Visits P.A. Seitts for Part II

Graet views of the desert

Not too long ago, we discovered the P.A. Seitts Preserve because Spur Cross Ranch was packed. Well, we tried Spur Cross Ranch again this past weekend, and besides being busy, part of it was closed down due to heavy human traffic. When my dad went to pay, they wouldn’t touch his cash, yet they don’t […]
