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.

Trapper's Camp and Other Things


Our local Rim Country Museum had a "Free Day" yesterday. One of our volunteers set up a Trapper's Camp outside the museum complete with tools, hides, etc.


They fired off black powder rifles.


These weapons worked about 30% of the time and took a bit of time to reload.

We had 108 visitors at the museum and our little gift shop made $400. This was the first time we have had a "free day" but I think it was successful and we will do it again.


Our roses are beautiful this year.


They hang outside our chain link fence but the elk have not discovered them……..yet. We have two young bulls that show up every morning about 5:00. The dogs bark at them which might be one reason they have not come up to the fence.


We will be journeying to Wales at the end of the week to see this little one. We will be celebrating her first birthday during our visit.
