This is our view from our boondock site, near Hart Prairie in Flagstaff, Arizona. The clouds in the sky were moving quickly. We had winds come through about 60 miles per hour. Overnight those clouds brought snow to the peaks! We were there at the perfect time to see the Aspens in their golden splendor.
We took a scenic drive around the San Francisco Peaks and into the Lockett Meadow area of the Inner Basin. Along the way we kept our eyes open for the elusive mule deer. The dogs were able to find some during their forest walks and a good chase ensued.
The weather was chilly! That is probably an understatement. It was the first "cold front" of the year and daytime highs were about 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Saturday night got down to 19! Brrr.....
Some of the guys explored the Lava Tubes. The San Francisco peaks area is a dormant volcano that erupted years ago. When the lava flowed like a river, it created this lava cave as the tops and bottom hardened more quickly than the lava in the middle that continued to flow.
Many thanks to our friends Ken, Chuck and Janet for another great weekend camping. We all enjoyed game nights in the back of the Toyhauler so that we could be in the comfort of the heater!
Next month? Yes that's right, once a month....we'll be camping close to home in the Sedona Red Rocks!
