Driving down US Hwy 89A, I passed a nice scenic overlook. About 100 meters downhill I made my stop on an unmarked scenic overlook on a rough dirt road leading to a nice free legal camp. From that location you can see House Rock, an old trading post and post office.

There was no anticipating this cold snap, it had been 78 in Flagstaff yesterday, who would think we would have such a change in the weather. There were too many artificial lights to see any meteors besides I couldn't stay out long anyway. The sun did warm the air up quickly and by 9 am it was 50 degrees. Watson was bright eyed this morning and wanted to go for his walk but it had to be a slow, short walk because he needs to rest his leg. He did limp on it this morning and the pain pills make him sleepy so he can get ... read more
