Man in the rock


If you look closely, you'll see a grumpy man's face - his mouth is the cave - this is on Apache Trail, on the way to Apache Lake

Fish Creek


Another road trip today, this one out to Apache Lake - this is a little stop at Fish Creek, at the bottom of Fish Creek Hill which is a very scary dirt road - impressive scenery, though

I got a new camera - this one is supposedly drop proof, but I'll try not to test it

More of the sticks

Today, my poor camera accidentally became roadkill; this is the third camera that has perished in my possession - so, I'm stuck with stock photos until I can figure out what to do about another camera. I have a Kodak that my husband won, but I can't figure out how to charge it.... or maybe it just won't charge because it knows I am a dangerous camera owner.... anyone know of a nice digital camera made out of rubber?

What a phony


This guy stands out near Cave Creek, trying his best to look like a real saguaro, and for the most part, people just drive right by and think nothing of it; look closely, and you'll see he's jut a little too perfect, and is a fake! We couldn't figure out what his real purpose was (cell phone tower? communicator with Mars?) Anyone know?

Stranded marina

I have to take some more pictures, so for now I'm relying on some older ones; this was taken back in Nov at Canyon Lake, when the lake level was lowered so they could work on the dam; if you look closely, you can see the whiteish line on the mountain where the water level usually is; this is the marina, which they moved to another temporary spot while the water was down; it's just sitting out there lonely and abandoned, for now

Snakehole golf course


We've got a lot going on in town this weekend, from the SuperBowl tomorrow, to the FBR Open (golf) going on now; a lot of people are out here avoiding the cold weather and enjoying our sunshine - here's one of the most unique golf courses you might ever see - there's no grass, only desert! Membership is limited, however, to the residents of the Countryside RV Resort
