Hiking the Chilkoot- Again

Reuben and the boys hiked the Chilkoot in 2009. Last week they went again and had a ball. Here are some photos from the trip.

A zen moment before heading out again.

A bonding moment (who cares if it is when they are asleep)

The face is because this toad just peed on Jeran.

The Willis guys

THE END is in sight!

Glimpses of Arizona

Two weeks ago I traveled to Arizona to visit a friend. What a lovely time of year to be in the desert! It was in the mid-70s all week with blue, blue sky. I didn't realize how much I needed the getaway until I was there. Now my friend may have to host me at her place more often than she counted on!
Here are some (unedited) glimpses of the trip:
A sunrise walk

After our walk, my friend took me to "The Coffee Shop" for a milk steamer and a cupcake. The owners competed on the television show "Cupcake Wars". They actually won and were able to meet Duff from "Ace of Cakes". What a fun field trip!

I loved all the gorgeous plants

We spent an evening at The Boulders resort walking their grounds and having a delicious dinner
