White Reef Trailhead

Red Cliffs Lowland Zone...White Reef Trailhead...Mt. Tipple destination.

I didn't know how long I'd have to hike here to get to the White Cliff in the foreground of this picture(I took it on the way out)  If you can enlarge it, you will see Mt. Tipple at the right side.  The morning was lovely...and it was so dark and early when I left...I walked right out without my visor or a hat! Not knowing the trail, I didn't know if I should wear my hiking boots or tennies...could have done with the tennies but I tromped the whole way in the boots! LOL
Gosh, the variety in color was so amazing from white to blue to red to green and gray...
Of course, my eye is ever on the flowers in bloom and this drainage was ablaze with some white ones and the colors striking in the early morning sun. 
Up around the bend my time was up but I could see a tip of a mountain ahead...and a short way up the trail this view greeted me between to rocky outcroppings.
A bit further on....This was my view!  Breathtaking it was!

Up ahead Tye and I could see Mt. Tipple...and we trekked on determined to arrive in its shade!
It was getting warm by this time...and Tye and I had a snack and a drink and a funny picture before heading back. I had to back down the trail to get Mt. Tipple in the picture.
Another lovely view caught my attention as I headed back down the trail.
And a most beautiful Indian Paintbrush as well.
Headed home for breakfast and to go and see my Aunt Carmen and visit with her....Thanks for stopping by!

Two week update on being owners of Welcome Station RV Park

Image
Today marks two weeks since our lifestyle change.  It's been a whirlwind!  Mostly a fun one, even with the long hours and hard work.  Steve is handling the phone and parking and I am learning the ropes of running a business using Quickbooks and not having much of an office!  The former owner left behind a couple of old chairs and tables, a tv cart, a small bookshelf and voila, an office!  The house was not clean, and is still in the process of becoming so but one of the renters has helped me and we've had some great times and she and her hubby have played games with us. (always a favorite of ours)  The first Sunday, we were swamped and overwhelmed and wanted to get to church but didn't make it and then that evening a fellow arrived, wanting to know if anyone played country or Gospel guitar!  Well, right there and then we had our first "house concert" in our humble abode and  we enjoyed his playing!  I did pretty well keeping up with h...

It has been heard through the grapevine....that an update is wanted for the O'Bosky's blog! We have, for the past three weeks, been at The Oaks Camp and Conference Center near Lancaster, California.  It is a super wonderful Christian camp which is part of World Impact.  The staff was a blessing and were so very friendly!  We found we were blessed and refreshed as we blessed them.  Traveling with a purpose...doesn't get better than this!  Steve and I are a part of MMAP (Mobile Missionary Assistance Program)  Here are a few pics of what happened while we were there.  These are the 5 men of this project.  A great time was had by all as they loved and served the Lord helping out on different projects.   Smitty and Steve helped to fix the human foos ball game.  The ladies of the project on a walk to get some surplus produce. Cold and windy most of the time while we were here.   We are now traveling with our golf cart, ...

GUIDANI TRAIL near Kartchner Caverns

Image
The landscape is dry and covered with Mesquite. The tufts of grass Edgewater show the signs of a winter rain. It is chilly here with an altitude of 4600 feet. I choose the trail less traveled, the Guidani trail in the forest which just borders the state park with the fabulous caves . It is an easy walk until the climb to the top. Today I return to the wash to take a few pics.
