Riff Raff!

Camp

 KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK! Anybody Home? Was the sound I awoke too from my siesta "Yep be there in a minute!" As I peeked my head out the Turtle door noticing a Arizona Ranger with hand placed firmly upon his gun. I asked  "Can I help you?" To which he replied. "There's been some complaints of some Riff Raff living out here in van" Hmmmm I said that's weird I been out here almost a week and haven't seen any? Apparently we didn't share the same sense of humor, because that's the point where he told me to lock up the dog cause he didn't wanna have to shoot it!

Then the interrogation begin. How long yah been here? Where yah going? Where yah coming from? I answered all honestly. "He declared you know its illegal to even drive into a national forest if your living in the vehicle.(Fourth time Fourth forest Ive gotten the speech in)"I said Well I don't live in the forest I live at my residence up near Show Low, and travel often" Then was called a liar, and was told I would just be receiving a warning today. Welcome to your National Forest! Nice to see my tax dollars harassing me. I've moved on, but did enjoy the rest of my 14 days without any hassle. Heres a few more pics of camp.....

 Right up the road from camp.

Interesting history, but not very well preserved. Thanks for visiting! Good day!

Da Rim

 The Mogollon Rim my humble home for the past 4 weeks. Weather's been dipping into the 20's at night, and day time highs in the mid 40's to low 50's. Time to make the trip 30 minutes west. Ill drop almost 3000ft and gain about 20 degrees. Coming from Minnesota I'm always amazed by what a difference just a few miles can make. Heres a few more pic of camp...

 Only received about 5 hours of good sun in the tall pines, which required me to break out the generator. Bringing my electric bill up to about 11 bucks for the year, but was worth the 4 weeks in the biggest ponderosa pine forest in the world.

 Ginger chasing squirrels on the hike to Forest Lake's. which really isn't much more then a over exaggerated puddle.

Fossilized shells at 8000 ft?  

Ginger keeping guard. Heres a few more links to some adventures on the rim. Living on the edge, Nomadic beginings, Riding the storm out, The new neighbors, and The Shepard. Thank's for visiting! Good Day!
