SIPE WILDLIFE VIEWING AREA

YESTERDAY WE HEADED OUT INTO THE WHITE MOUNTAINS ON A ROAD TRIP. OUR DESTINATION WAS THE SIPE WILDLIFE VIEWING AREA WHERE OUR FRIENDS THE HUNTERS HAVE SET UP THEIR RV FOR A MONTH OR TWO OF VOLUNTEER WORK FOR ARIZONA FISH AND GAME WHO OWN AND OPERATE THE THE OLD RANCH.

THIS IS THE VIEW FROM A LOOKOUT IN THE WHITE MOUNTAINS WHERE WE STOPPED FOR A PICNIC LUNCH. NOT A BAD VIEW, AND I THINK YOU CAN SEE 50 OR 60 MILES, ALL THE WAY TO NEW MEXICO.

WE WERE ALSO CHECKING OUT SOME MOUNTAIN LAKES FOR SOME FUTURE FALL TROUT FISHING.

ENJOY THE LAST SUMMER HOLIDAY!

The Shop

We have a small room attached to the back of the cabin.  It houses our hot water heater and freezer. It is also large enough for us to use for projects and storage of our tools among other things.  We call it “The Shop”.

I had to put some inspiring whimsey on the walls.

And some Arizona scenery.

The view from the door.

The cool metal bookmark I got in Bisbee…I like what it says.

More Arizona scenery and a couple of cool cats.

Apron, bag holder, and handy, dandy scissors, all on cute hooks of course!  The zebra chair was painted by a dear friend of ours that passed away this past November.

Every shop needs a workbench and this is ours.

The necessary noise box….too quiet in there otherwise. 

This is the last license plate I ever had in the state of Wisconsin.  Now it hangs on the wall of “The Shop”'.   Now all we need is some inspiration!!

SALT RIVER CANYON

THE WATER IN THE SALT RIVER IS LOOKING PRETTY RED DURING THE MONSOON SEASON AND GULLY WASHER YESTERDAY.

MEN’S BREAKFAST

THE FIRST SATURDAY IN AUGUST MEANS IT’S TIME FOR THE ANNUAL MEN’S BREAKFAST AT TALL PINES RV RESORT. THIS YEAR WE DID BLUEBERRY PANCAKES, SAUSAGE, SCRAMBLED EGGS, FRUIT, AND DRINKS. WE SERVED ABOUT 40 PEOPLE AND I DID THE BLUEBERRY PANCAKES.

BACK IN ACTION !!

AH-HA THE REPLACEMENT GRATE FOR THE BIG RED EGG ARRIVED THIS AFTERNOON ON THE FEDX TRUCK. I DON’T THINK THE TRUCK WAS QUITE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY WHEN I LIT THE CHARCOALS!

I ALSO RECENTLY GOT A NEW FLIP PHONE, SO I TRIED OUT THE CAMERA ON THE PHONE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK? GOOD ENOUGH FOR A CELL PHONE?
