Boy is it hot this summer. I’m kinda missing the cooler temps of Colorado, although I hear they are having a heat wave as well. With the mountains, though, you can often find some cooler spots…like Chambers Lake. Chambers Lake & Campground is located approximately 60 miles north of Fort Collins Visitors enjoy the area […]
Kuma goes to Flatiron Reservoir in Northern Colorado
Summer means heading to the hills to cool off, and a nice quiet spot is a 47-acre reservoir fit for fishing. Unfortunately, no boats or swimming is allowed, but the shady trees provide an excellent place for a picnic. That’s what me and my family did one afternoon. We headed to Flatiron Reservoir, part […]
Kuma gets inked in Texas!
If you are ever in Texas, north of Austin is Inks Lake State Park, located in Burnet County on the Colorado River. Me and my family made the trek up to use our Texas State Park Pass. The landscape of the park is hilly, with many cedar, live oak, prickly pear cacti and yuccas. It’s […]
Kuma explores McKinney State Park in Texas
Boy, Texas is a big state! We drove in a completely different direction one weekend, toward the Austin area, and found many more great things to do. Unfortunately, the Bastrop State Park got burned in a fire a couple of years ago, so we opted for McKinney Falls State Park, just southeast of Austin off […]
Kuma goes fishing at Grand Lake, Colorado
Besides hiking, biking, camping, and boating, my family will occasionally go fishing…or should I say catching. My dad really doesn’t like fishing at all, especially since he did it commercially for a career long before I came along. When he grabs that pole, he intends to catching something! In the car we went for yet […]
Kuma goes for a winter hike at Lynx Lake
We haven’t had much of a winter here in Phoenix. In fact, the temperatures are warming up too soon for my taste. Thankfully, my parents always have my back! They took me up to Prescott (about 5,500 feet) recently for a “winter” hike around Lynx Lake. I’ve been here in the summer time because […]
Happy birthday! Kuma turns nine tomorrow.
I am only eight for one more evening. Tomorrow, I turn nine. My mom’s birthday is only a week after mine. That makes us both Libras and another reason why we are like peas and carrots. Woof! We typically celebrate both our birthdays with an adventure. I am sensing one is coming up soon, but […]
Kuma’s canoeing adventure at Champion Lake in Texas
Besides hiking, biking, and running with my family, we also go canoeing. I love my family! The weather has been so humid here in Phoenix lately that it got me thinking of Houston, an area full of all sorts of bayous and lakes to explore. While living there, we heard great things about Champion Lake, […]
Kuma heads to high elevation to camp at Big Lake
My dad pulled the camper up in front of the house again. Mom loaded up the frig, and off we went for another camping adventure! We were on a quest to find cooler temps as it has definitely heated up here in the Phoenix area. Google Maps is some woman who tells my daddy where […]
Kuma cools off by recalling a trip to Mohawk Lakes in Colorado
Yowsa! It’s hot here in Phoenix. Me and my bro are stretching out on the tile floor and moving as little as possible. Ah, but I can dream, can’t I? Yes, to our Colorado trip last year. We stayed in Silverthorne at the LaQuinta where they know my name. Well, okay, maybe they know my […]
