I'm a retired educator (teacher/principal) who moved from Northern California to Payson, Arizona in September, 2010.
This blog will chronicle my adventures as I explore a different ecosystem and build my new home.

Cooper Hikes and House Update

Not much has been happening at the house site this week. Plumbing continues. Some doors have been hung and installed. Matt spent a good part of the day cleaning up the place.....getting ready for insulation next week. (Sub contractors are not necessarily a neat bunch!)


The hot water solar panel has been placed on the roof. A 120 gallon hot water heater will be installed after insulation and sheet rock. In case the sun doesn't shine, we have electrical back up for our solar hot water heater.


We have been hiking a new trail just 6 minutes by car from our house. It's called the North and South Boulder Trail. Cooper loves it.

Lots of rock and a happy dog.


Typical scenery in our area...


Cooper loves to run off lead.

Sometimes we leave the lead on....just in case. It's almost time for the female javelinas to be guarding their babies.


There are several three mile loops to follow in this area.



A man and his dog......what more can I say.




There is a small stream running along side the trail. Cooper loves taking regular slurps....he is such a slob!
