the unstuckening
At some point in the recent-ish past — look, time is fake, okay — I decided to pack up the boys & spend the afternoon down by the lake. Things … did not go as planned. As witness.

Estrella Day 2: Timber Camp the First
(not ‘part the first’ but ‘my first visit’ because why WOULDN’T I stop at such an awesome spot twice?) What with one thing & another I had a choice the second day between reaching the Queen Creek Walmart at like 3pm OR finding a place to stop for the afternoon somewhere after Salt River Canyon,

Estrella Day 2: Pintail Lake
You see above a Good Path! It leads to Pintail Lake Wetlands near Show Low in Arizona, which was constructed to filter Show Low’s waste water & create habitat for waterfowl & all the many other critters that love wetlands. It was a lovely day, I had plenty of time, & the path was promised

Estrella Day Mostly 2: Salt River Canyon
Near the end of the first day, having gotten a good feel for how Tyrava pulls, I decided that I would challenge myself & see how well I was REALLY doing with this towing-a-big-trailer thing. I decided to do this by taking AZ60 through Salt River Canyon. Down through Salt River Canyon. The one with

Battlemoor — Mostly Hades Edition
My friend Ivar, who makes excellent pottery, took this picture of Hades, & I think it sums up both Hades’ natural magnificence, & also his truly spectacular talent at getting himself ENTIRELY TANGLED. In any case, I usually don’t take a lot of Hades pictures because he’s a longhaired black cat & pretty often winds

I really _do_ love New Mexico. It’s GORGEOUS. It was also really, really good to be back on the road again.
