Greetings from southern AZ

5/29/2018

Well, without intending to, I seem to have taken a winter hiatus from the blog. We spent several months volunteering for Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Refuge in Ajo, AZ. After some time in Tucson, AZ we returned to Portal, AZ and Cave Creek Canyon. Soon we'll be heading north in the general direction of the central Oregon coast where we'll spend the summer leading kayak trips for Oregon State Parks.

Here's some pictures from our latest visit to Cave Creek Canyon...
