From back in early March, a few miles above Jerome, AZ.  The bump on the horizon is the San Francisco P3eaks.  Flagstaff is at the base of the peaks, some 40 miles away as the crow flies. ~Curtis in Arizona, then at least! {!-{>

22 Mar 26!

Sunday, March 22, 2026

A fairly short day from St. George to Brigham City, north of Ogden.  Around 300 miles, all freeway (I15N).  Same distance as yesterday, but much less uphill and no two lane.  The last stretch is tomorrow: 517 miles or so. Early daylight. Somewhere north of Cedar City, approaching Beaver, I think.  Sunny but not too […]

After spending much of the day getting ready for traveling home, the sky gave a nice show.  That funny white dot is the crescent Moon with the dark side illuminated with Earthshine.  Neat in person, not too bad for a cellphone! A little closer. And as a close up*…while it looks like you can see […]

On the way back down to Lowell, is the Bisbee Pit.  It looks like it is on the order of the Berkley Pit…maybe… Bisbee is most definitely  a  mining  town! A nice pit! But they have a long way to go before it is filled with toxic sludge like our’s!

Day 26067! 08 Mar 26!

We checked out the Whitewater Draw again to not many birds.  So it was off to Bisbee! Bisbee is an old (and not so old) mining town.  Lowell was a small town near Bisbee, but now part of it.  There isn’t too much current business evident, but they left the buildings up with historical window […]

Day 26066! 07 Mar 26!

We kept driving through all these orchards.  Further investigation discovered these are Pecan trees, and pistachios are also a big crop down here.  Potatoes are also big. You don’t usually think about Arizona growing things, but it does! More than just these rocks near the I10 on ramp. We ended up back in Tombstone and […]

Day 26064! 05 Mar 26!

Thursday, March 12, 2026

The next morning we ran back out to Whitewater Draw.  There were not nearly as many Sandhill Cranes. Lots of other birds  Not many Cranes… Killdeer! Even a Mallard or three! So we cut our losses and headed out to a fine little restaurant called “Sandy’s”.  It is attached to a little RV park in […]

Sandhill Cranes We decided to run up to Whitewater Draw, near Tombstone.  The Sandhill Cranes migrate there in the winter.  After checking into our hotel in Tombstone, we ran out to the Draw. It is a short walk from parking to the pond, which according to another visitor, has shrunk considerably over the last few […]
