Day 2 camping trip on the Mogollon Rim in central Arizona, 100 miles north of Phoenix.
The Mogollon Rim has a fantastic bike/walking trail. On a clear day, you can see over 200 miles. There are Bald Eagle nests and Osprey over the lakes dive-bombing for fish. Whether in a campground or primitive camping, there are plenty of ways to enjoy yourself. Jim and I went exploring to Bears Canyon Lake. He to fish, me to hike and write (I’m working on my second novel.) and take pictures.
After a full day of fishing and hiking, we made it back to the campsite at Woods Canyon Lake to see another shimmering sunset. I bet we come back before the summer’s out. Which shot do you like best?

Wow! So beautiful. I love the shot of the lake through the trees.

Thanks Abbi, it was heavenly. As I live in the desert and water is lacking, I appreciate the trees and water more than ever.

You don’t make things easy, do you, Cindy!! I love animals, the scenery and sunset are terrific, but the next to last one so reminds of a lake I used to visit in upstate New York near Monroe. The moment I saw it, memories came rushing back. Thanks.

Lake George?
It felt like I was in upper Wisconsin minus bugs, leeches, and humidity 😉

Looks gorgeous Cindy. The last shot is probably my favorite.
I’m pretty big on the outdoors myself, but I’ve found it’s been difficult lately to get out as often as I want. I’m watching so many movies at this point! 😀 Maybe a little balance in my life is what I need. . .

It was hard leaving the computer and all technology. No service to even check my phone or text. At first you itch for it, but then, I loved the break from it all. I love being outside–sometimes I find I have to force myself to get out there or the weeks, months fly by. Thanks, Tom 🙂
