Road Trip Blog reawakens

Looking grim for getting to the Upper Ruin.  Monday's tour is filled and they don't give tours on Tuesday and Wednesday.

This blog has been dormant since January 2013. We're bringing it back to life for an early March Wild Flower Road Trip. The general idea is to head over to Payson Sunday and spend some Quality Time in Wal-Mart. Really?  Yep, we need to do some riggin' for how Sharlot carries our camping gear. Plus, we need to restock our chuck box.

After we're fully rigged, we will head down to Roosevelt and get a camp there. Hopefully, we'll be able to get on the Upper Ruin tour Monday. If not, we'll take whatever day we can get. Then we're heading to Globe to visit Dear Friends. After that, we're heading out to Peridot Mesa on the San Carlos Rez to search for a rumored vast field of poppies. Chances are we'll veer down to the Old Pueblo while keeping an eye on the various intel reports on Arizona wild flowers.




Here's some of the intel links:
