Regardless of your political affiliation, recent months have been filled with crucial conversations where opinions vary, stakes are high, and emotions run strong. The authors of the best-selling book, Crucial Conversations, tell us that during such times, we are often at our worst. We feel under pressure, stumped, and tend to act in self-defeating ways. […]
The Snowy Range Mountain Scenic Byway
Our cooler weather with windy conditions makes me think back to a trip we made to Wyoming when we lived in Northern Colorado. Have you ever been to Wyoming…the land of wide-open spaces? The entire state has less people than Phoenix, Arizona (579,315 as of 2017) and is known for its expansive blue skies. We […]
Kuma camps at Powell Springs
When my mom took me to the park on a Thursday, I knew something was up. We usually go on a Friday, so that meant one thing: adventure! Dad got the camper and when he was getting it ready, he noticed a connection to the propane gas line was broken. I’ve been smelling propane and […]
Kuma 4 wheels to Horsethief Lake
Man, is it me or has this been a hot and humid summer? Ugh. My folks were sick of the sticky weather and decided last minute to head to the hills. We weren’t sure we’d find cooler temps, but we brought a picnic and would at least have a change of scenery. I was game! […]
Kuma takes a ride to the Castle Hot Springs
When it is hot, we are limited to what we can do outside. Lately, it is has been difficult to beat the heat even early in the morning. Mom and dad thought a drive with the AC on would be a good option, so 4 wheeling we went! I’m not a big fan of […]
Kuma Discovers Secret Canyon in Sedona
Christmas has been put away until next December. Another year is upon us, and I can’t wait to see how me and my family celebrate. Stay tuned for that! Over the holiday, we got some great hikes in. One day, we headed up north to Sedona. Knowing Sedona would be packed with tourists and visiting […]
Kuma enjoys the West Fork Trail in Sedona
My folks confused me this past Friday. Friday is usually park day and oh how I love doing the grass dance and seeing all my buddies! Instead of driving to the park, though, we kept on going and going. I should have known something was up when the drink cooler was in the car. We […]
Kuma walks around Lake Estes
This past weekend, my dad got the boat ready and hooked up to the car. I got excited to go on an adventure of the boating kind. The doorbell rang, and two adult humans with two little ones arrived. These kids were full of energy and immediately began chasing me around the house…and I loved […]
Kuma celebrates his birthday at Sunset Crater in Flagstaff
You’ve probably heard me say how my mom and I are like peas and carrots. Well, it is true! Our birthdays are even close together, and we can celebrate them together. Every year we go on some great adventure, and this time we opted to camp at the Sunset Crater in Flagstaff. Mom and […]
Kuma’s 100th blog: Moab, UT and Arches National Park
This blog marks 100 times I have shared my great adventures with you my readers and fans. That’s a lot of typing, and I want to take this opportunity to thank my mom because without her, you wouldn’t be able to decipher my “woofs.” She gets me, understands what makes me ticks, and does a […]
