Fool Hollow Lake State Park

Welcome to our annual Sept RV trip! First stop was this wonderful state park in the northeast corner of Arizona. The above photo is a view from our campsite - who would think you'd find pine trees in Arizona? Most folks just think of Arizona as Phoenix - desert, rock & cactus, but it's so much more!
I love the scale that the yellow kayak gives to the bluffs. This view was not too far from our campsite as we were taking a walk on some trails nearby.

Isn't this a serene view? Again, along a trail, we came up to the same bluffs as the previous photo. What a wonderful discovery this state park was - and, believe it or not, it was located in the town of Show Low. We think it may have started out as a dream of a subdivision, but money ran out, and so now it's a dream that everyone can share in! Enjoy!

Camping at Sugarite Canyon State Park

Here are the first set of photos from our camping weekend last weekend. The above photo was of the glow of the sunset on a thunderhead that did rain down on us. Still, it looks pretty in this shot, doesn't it?
This is a photo of the back of our campground. The color of the face of this rise was just so warm and rich.

And, finally, this is the front facing view. We really love this campground, even tho it doesn't have any hook-ups (water and electricity) just because of these views. Plus, this campground is really pretty spacious - lots of room between each of the sites. One thing that was incredibly plentiful here that I didn't get a photo of was all the hummingbirds! I just couldn't get a shot of them - they move too quickly! And, they really came close! A couple of times they would pause just a foot or so from Jeff & me - once it was so close to me, the breeze from its wings actually ruffled my hair!! We decided that next time we would bring a hummingbird feeder and then I'd be able to get some good shots of them (hopefully!). Enjoy!

Moonrise at Rockhound State Park

Isn't this a beautiful moonrise? It's rising over the Little Florida Mountains and the "trees" are actually some taller shrubbery around our campsite. What a pretty campground area this is! Today, we're off to explore the town of Deming, NM, and whatever shops they have to offer! Enjoy!
