What a view! We were enjoying a glass of wine and looking out over the Tonto National Forest.
Every year in September a family who owns a beautiful piece of property near the top of the Rim opens up their home to 70 guests for a fundraiser for the Rim Country Museum. The family supplies the food and drink and the museum benefits from the sales of the tickets. We enjoyed beef, barley salad, fruit salad, croissants, and apple pie and ice cream.
The original Zane Grey cabin used to be located on their land. The cabin burned down in the 1990 Dude Fire. A look-alike cabin was constructed at Green Valley Park right next to the Rim Country Museum. We give tours to both the museum and the cabin.
The State Historian, Marshall Trimball, attended and we enjoyed listening to his singing and storytelling. He knows so many tales about Rim Country.
Yesterday morning there were elk beside our driveway. This guy is not too worried about Cooper. And Cooper doesn't bark at them like he does with the coyotes or javelina.
Beautiful creatures that stand 6-9 ft. tall.
They move up into the hills at day break. The rut will start soon....then it's going to get noisy around here.
