Doggos and I enjoy hiking, gardening, camping, healthy living, and weekend adventures. We live in the low desert of south-central Arizona. We hope to connect with like-minded folks 🤗

One eye green and the other is black. One eye looks toward the sky. The other watches the earth. And when he looks at you, you can’t help but wonder, what has he seen that we haven’t? #wildhorse #wild #horse

We are entering a distinctly new season. The era of cheap money and effortless abundance has quietly slipped into the past. We must look clearly at why this landscape is changing and how we can gather our strength for the road ahead. It is tempting to blame rising costs on banking institutions. /1

I have a theory that I believe is deeply controversial, but fundamentally correct. It’s a framework for understanding the current geopolitical and domestic landscape that moves beyond the daily noise of partisan politics. I call it the "Controlled Demolition" theory. The premise is this: 1/1

Never, ever follow the crowd. You need not be a leader, but never be a blind follower. Use your own brain, internal compass, and gut instinct. You will never be led wrong in doing so.

A life is a fire. Some people smolder. Some burn steadily. Some throw gasoline on the whole damn thing and disappear in a magnificent flash. We're not entirely in control of the fire. But we get to decide, to some degree, what we throw into it.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor
The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Looking eastward over the sprawling San Simon Valley. The prominent standalone peak is Harris Mountain. Below the peaks stretches the vast San Simon Valley, a classic desert basin separating the region's isolated "sky island" mountain ranges. #Arizona

Today, volunteers clear brush and maintain over 270 cataloged graves. History isn't just in textbooks; it’s preserved by native plants and high-desert hills. Do you have a favorite historic spot or pioneer story in the Southwest? 🏜️

Thirteen years ago today, 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots (Yarnell, Arizona) never came home. As I stood looking across the same landscape they faced, I couldn't help but think about the unimaginable courage it takes to run toward danger when everyone else is running away.

A massive dead tree somehow suspended 15 feet off the ground, perfectly wedged between two living trees. I’ve spent a lot of time on Arizona trails, but I’ve never seen anything quite like it. My best guess is wind, gravity, and a little bit of wilderness magic. What do you think happened here? 🌲

A golden-mantled ground squirrel (Callospermophilus lateralis), native to the western United States and Rocky Mountains. While they resemble chipmunks, these squirrels lack facial stripes, which is the easiest way to distinguish between the two. Humphrey Peak, Arizona

The Pocket Fire, Sedona AZ near the Edge of the World. The fire has grown to approximately 1,467 acres in rugged Coconino National Forest and remains 0% contained. For those of us who find peace on these trails and cherish Arizona’s wild places, this is a difficult sight. #Sedona #Arizona
