This Is The Life!

You know what they say: "I bad day fishing is better than a good day at work" I believe that. Well, The fish are not biting, but the view is great and I got a lunch packed. We went fishing at a nearby lake in Williams.

Elephant Rocks Golf Course

We did some practice putts and drove a few balls on the driving range
in Williams. It sure is nice here.

Largest Shopping Cart

I was at the Mobile station in Ash Fork this morning and I saw the
biggest shopping in the world. The driver said it was made for
parades. It was mounted on top of a cool dragster type car. He couldn't even drive under the station. He had to back out.
I could put a years worth groceries in that thing. Video coming.

A trip to Payson

I took I-17 from Flagstaff to Payson. I was watching all the snow everywhere as I drove. I stopped the truck, jumped out and took several shots of the immediate surroundings...Beautiful!

Ash Fork on the 4th

This is a little cruise through Ash Fork on July 4, 2009. They put up American flags on both sides of the street. I shot this video looking out through my dirty window shield. It took me awhile to figure out what those little jumping spots were.

The Clouds

This picture does go back to 2008 sometime. I seem to remember about April 2008. You can see a little sliver of the cabin in the photo. The rain came down and the clouds formed afterward. The clouds are very beautiful here in Ash Fork.
