It was very cool last night and this morning early, but the sun was out and no wind and that's great. Got up at 9 o'clock and by the time I got the coffee going and the crackers ready it was very nice outside in the sun.
It was around 12:30 and we decided to take a ride down through the grasslands toward the Empire Mountains along Cienegas Creek to the east.
Looking back at the White Lion on the hilltop with Santa Rita Mountains in the background.
We were lucky enough on our drive to see this hawk. I believe it is a young Coopers Hawk, but correct me if I'm wrong.
Returned to camp around 2:30 and I did a little more lying around in the sun before dinner. Hamburgers around 5 o'clock and we are now watching my team, Kansas City Chiefs playing Nick's team, Los Angeles Chargers. 13-14 in the 3rd quarter.
Time for pudding and whip cream!😋 Thanks for stopping by.
That plane is a C-130 (in my opinion). B-52's have eight jet engines, but paired with another. In Sacramento we had many of both planes fly over when I was a kid, and I even had a school field trip while in elementary school and got to tour a B-52...looked out the cockpit.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It is a C-130. I was way off. My mind was hearing those B 52 bombers dropping them in Vietnam and the ground shaking under my feet
DeleteYou boys had a pretty relaxing day. Nice picture of the Cooper's hawk. Very regal, looking over it's domain. Great shot of the waxing moon. I hope you and Nick make it through this hard fought game. It's been a tough one!
ReplyDeleteThank you Dolly. That game was a thriller to the very end in OT 😁
DeleteYou guys all seem very relaxed and enjoying the short lazy days. Good for you. I’m still waiting for antelope photos, they were always around when we were there, between the highway and the ranch house. I see you found your cowboy hat! Mister Nick needs a hat. Maybe I missed it but if he is writing a blog it would be nice to view things from his perspective. Yuma looks fantastic and I bet is happy be out of the cold. Keep having fun guys.
ReplyDeleteI'm staying on a hill right between the highway and the ranch and still waiting for my antelope. Yep. Nick needs a hat. He has stalled on his effort to create a blog for some reason.
DeleteWell your Chiefs pulled it out last night in a good game. Great to see some wild life out there. White Poplar Tree😃
ReplyDeleteThat was some game. Poor Nick was disappointed. Still like Cottonwood better 😁
DeleteArizona wildlife ..... my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteAlways on the lookout.
DeleteI love the picture of Yuma. He looks like a king looking over his kingdom. Thanks for keeping the winner of Survivor a secret. Elva
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I love taking pictures of Yuma.
DeleteI have two questions! Are you perhaps on the dead-end spur road at approximately 31.774511, -110.652770 ? I think I was at that spot a few years ago, and an overly keen volunteer asked me to move, even though a BLM ranger had driven by and ignore me! Nice spot, and I hope it's available. Second question: Nice pic of the tree at Harshaw - I think I've camped near it. Have you been out there this year? With that big mine developed there, I wonder how the traffic is now? narrows(at)gmail.com And, I'm sure you know about the great water tap near the ranch buildings!
ReplyDeleteYour coordinates are exactly where i am located. I am at the turn around and there is a flat spot I passed. Only two sites up here. No one has said anything yet.
DeleteAl told me about Harshaw and that you had camped under that tree next to the cemetary. We drove up to the gate at the mine a couple days ago. Still working on it. Traffic not noticeable except for a few trucks carrying dirt movers.
