Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Signs of life

01 New growth on Ponderosa Pine NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x768)

I know it’s spring because of the new growth being seen.

02 New growth on White Fir NR GRCA NP AZ (1024x839)

But I’m ready for summer already.

MWT – Marble View

01 Meadows along SR67 N Kaibab NF AZ (1024x738)

After lazing away my first two days off I decided to take a leisurely ride out of the park and into the adjacent Kaibab National Forest. I have several favorite places.

02 Meadow & forest & view point sign FR611 E Kaibab NF AZ (1024x526)

Guess I needed to get off the pavement.

03 Aspen against sky along FR611 E Kaibab NF AZ (1024x758)

The Aspen are leafing out and show a neon green against the dark firs and pines.

04 Snow at tree line along FR610 S Kaibab NF AZ (1024x768)

A few signs of winter still holding out on the northern exposures.

06 Trees bucked off road along FR610 S Kaibab NF AZ (1024x768) Plus several trees down across the road.

05 AZ trail thru meadow along FR610 S Kaibab NF AZ (1024x768) Yet the meadows looked clear for a hike on the Arizona trail.

07 Forest Rd to Marble View Kaibab NF AZ (1024x767)

Eventually, I saw light at the end of the forested tunnel.

08 Forest Rd to Marble View Kaibab NF AZ (1024x768)

And the beginning of a view.

09 Looking E at Navajo Mt, Marble canyon & House Rock Valley from Marble View Kaibab NF AZ (1024x754)

That’s Navajo Mountain in the distance over 100 miles away. And Marble Canyon which formed as the Colorado River carved through the long ago deposited sediments that make up House Rock Valley.

10 Wildflowers at Marble View Kaibab NF AZ (1024x768)

This open, tundra-like overlook is speckled with tiny wildflowers.

11 North Canyon, Vermilion Cliffs & House Rock Valley from Marble View Kaibab NF AZ (1024x768)

Mostly I just sat and absorbed the view.

12 Forest along FR219 S Kaibab NF AZ (1024x811)

Eventually it was time to drive back through the forest.

13 Dancing aspen saplings FR610 W Kaibab NF AZ (765x1024)

Where I stopped to dance with the Aspen and wrote a story in my head.
