Mother Nature certainly has a sense of humor. Just when we thought spring was here to stay, winter returned…with a vengeance! My fans up in Loveland, Colorado, got about 26 inches of snow. Yowsa! Meanwhile here in Arizona, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to head north to go play in the snow one last […]
Snow Day in Flagstaff
It isn’t very often that the weather here in Phoenix forces us to change our plans, but the recent rain meant we couldn’t go for our planned hike on Saturday. No worries because we headed up north to play in the snow instead, and that made me very happy! The desert certainly needs the rain, […]
Kuma enjoys a Snow Day in Flagstaff
One of my favorite things about this time of year is heading up north to play in the snow. Every year right before Christmas, we go on an SOS mission: search of snow. This year was a challenge because we have been quite dry. In fact, we’ve only had 15 days of measurable rain in […]
Boondocking Near Marshall Lake in Flagstaff
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 Loves Bismarck Lake in Flagstaff, AZ
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 […]
Watchable Wildlife Trail – Kuma goes snow shoeing in Flagstaff
Christmas in Arizona is a little different than when we lived in Colorado. Wintertime in Loveland, Colorado, is cold and snowy most of the time, especially around Christmas. We started a Christmas tradition of snow showing that we have done for 11 years now. Finding snow in Arizona is usually a challenge due to our […]
Kuma goes snow shoeing in Flagstaff!
I am totally grooving on living in Arizona! When we first moved here in a couple of years ago, I wasn’t so sure. The ground got awful hot and it bit me a few times with these stickers in my paws. So rude, you know? I should have known better than to question my humans, […]
Snow Day in Flagstaff, AZ
Our S.O.S. mission (in search of snow) was successful! On New Year’s Eve day, my family and I headed up north to Flagstaff. Good thing because it was nothing but wet rain here in Phoenix. The dreary, dark day good for nothing but a nice long nap turned to a most wonderful adventure at higher […]
Kuma takes off for Flagstaff, Arizona
Although school has started for human kids, summer temps continue here in the desert not fit for man or beast! My family and I decided to hit higher ground and took off for Flagstaff, Arizona. With an elevation of just under 7,000 feet, Flagstaff is the gateway to the San Francisco Peaks, the tallest mountains […]
