Kuma’s Favorite: Anthem Park

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you know how much I love park day. Every week, I look forward to Fridays when my mom takes me to Anthem Veteran’s Memorial Park and I get to visit the grass! This local gem has much to offer and gains national attention every Veteran’s Day when […]

Memorial Day at Lynx Lake, Prescott AZ

The last several years, Dad has gone out over landing for the Memorial Day weekend, leaving me and my mom behind. Don’t cry for me Argentina because I get to go to Lynx Lake with mom as our tradition! This year, we headed up on Sunday, hoping everyone was where they wanted to be but […]

Kuma Tries Thunderbird Conservation Park

As I have mentioned before, I am always up for adventure suggestions. A tennis friend of my mom’s told her about his favorite hiking location, so off to Thunderbird Conservation Park we went. The easiest way to get there is to head West on Pinnacle Peak Road off I-17 and continue all the way to […]

Bartlett Lake, AZ

If you follow me, you know I am always up for an adventure, but when it comes to motorcycling, not so much. I know some Shiba Inu dogs go on the bike with their human but not me. I’m a super-sized Shiba, so I doubt I would fit anyway. On Saturday, mom and dad got […]

Kuma hikes Willow Creek Lake in Prescott

We are starting the new year off with a bang! First, we did a 5.5-mile loop in Sedona, and this past weekend we went 6.5 miles. Wholly smokes. Let me back up. I knew we were going north on an adventure when we woke up on a Saturday when it was still dark. That’s the […]

Kuma takes Norman to Lynx Lake

Wow! Mom just told me that this is my 200th blog. I’m not great at counting, but I think this is worth celebrating. Where’s my steak bone? Oh yeah, Dee & Doug McBride gave me one over the weekend (thank you!). Perfect timing. Woof! And what better adventure for my 200th blog than the day […]

Kuma heads to Greer, Arizona

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

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 – […]

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 […]

A Marathon of a Story

Okay, it is officially HOT! We broke all kinds of records this past weekend in Phoenix: hottest temp for the day, hottest low, and multiple days in a row over 110…and it is only July! I don’t know about you, but I was a total slug this weekend. I didn’t move unless I had […]
