She takes such small baby steps that every time we walk and compare steps she always has a couple thousand more than I do. No wonder she was so tired and sore. lol At least I got some brownie points for this museum trip today.
Not yet Andy. We drove through a couple new developments but I didn't like the looks of them so we didn't bother to even go into the models. The lady at the museum told us of a couple other areas we should check out so we're going to try and look at these if we have time.
I was just looking at my steps app on my phone. I had done just over 16,000 and Annie did 21,000.
Dave,
If we stay here (Looks like we're leaning that way) and I find any good info I'll absolutely pass it on to you Andy. We'll most likely be in AZ for a couple more years too unless I find a smoking' deal which In this market I'm not holding my breath on.
Not all have the wisdom to know when to turn around...We started off heading up to Toquerville Falls. It's a waterfall out in the middle of the desert and there's a few pools where you can hang out and swim. We were up there 2 years ago and it's a really cool spot but man has it washed out a lot since then. I turned around about half way (and that was fun) as the trail isn't all that wide and there's huge rocks everywhere. I got to a point where there was a big washout under a ledge and I "think" I could've made it up but there were several big holes in front of the step up and you really needed a little speed to get up the hill to it to bump yourself over it.
We also didn't see anyone out there so like the other day I just don't like doing certain things alone and getting high centered and stuck with no cell service. Of course this was the only spot I forgot to take a picture as I was more concerned on trying to turn around and not go over the edge.
The first part is easy and just a bunch of rocks. I aired down to 21 psi and with the new Eibach it was pretty smooth compared to the the last time when I had the stock Fx4 suspension.
It's hard to see but here there's a large dip on the left side and a huge rock just over the rise. On the far right it's really the best line but you have to hug the side then once at over the top hook left or there's a drop off the right side. Not a cliff or anything but you're still sol if you go over it.
These two weren't to bad as you have to hug the left side on the lower one and the right side on the upper one. Around the corner is where I turned around. Picture this lower one with a good 3' washout under it the whole way across. If I was with someone I would've died it but it wasn't worth getting stuck and having to walk a couple miles back down the hill to call Matts Towing/Recovery. lol
Hi Dave,
Thanks Phil. Ive been keeping my eye on the weather up there and it looks like every day has a chance for storms. We had a short storm here around 4:00am but other than that it's been perfect weather with upper 90's in the day and lower 70's at night. What I love is it cools off here pretty quick so you can sit outside after dinner, not like in the valley where you get up and it's already 84 at 5:00am.
Very true Kent! Over the years I've learned to trust my gut and my first instinct. If there were others out there I would've felt more comfortable going ahead. I did this easily back in 2020 but it's much worse now and not worth ruing our vacation or my truck. I guess the old saying is true "To be old and wise you must first be young and stupid". Glad I've learned from my dumb mistakes. ?
Hi Dave,
Just think of all the doors and drop-downs that will require a damper !!!An Ark? That sounds like WAY too much testing and re-testing.

Good thinking Steve with a recession looming I'll still be able to make money! ??
