Good Morning !!

     I am finding this early morning that I can not sleep---but I have work again tonight  until late into the night.  So I am attempting to get a blog or two posted and such before I zonk back out and droll all over my pillows.  Last night was another concert at work.  And it was another very busy night.  It was also a long night.   My wife was going to go to the concert --they offered lots of free tickets--but it was Vince Gill.  Don't get me wrong, we both like country music.  But he is just a little bit to whinny or sad or something in his music.  The night before Weird Al was in concert and her and I snuck to the concert.  And it was in fact weird!  But great.  More on that very soon.    On my newest Exploring page ----  http://exarizonagobensonbobcats.blogspot.com/

         

 

Hangin' out in Tucson Arizona.

They paint the balls different colors for each holiday.

 

 

 

I am trying this for real next time we go out.

Will post the result.

Although it might be awhile  we tend not to take our complaints into public.  ;)

 

 

But work won't let me wear my helmet.

No matter how special anyone calls me.

 

 

 

This page is free!

And look what you get. 

 

 

 

He too seems to be on the C food diet!

We see food  and than eat it!!

Maybe some light beer  would help cut his gut.

I know that is my new theory.

Again I will get back to you on that one.

 

 

 

True story.

 

 

This is amusing.

But the fact that they need this sign is not. 

 

I believe this works in Arizona also.

                       Awhile back I had a nice sunny day to roam and ended up in beautiful ST David.       Here is the past post in case you missed it    http://exarizonagobensonbobcats.blogspot.com/2013/12/some-saint-david-exploring-beyond.html       For more Exploring locally and all around --and some good old fashioned jokes and name calling please also check out my first Exploring blog sight at www.wyomingjack.blogspot.com      We have been finding ourselves in the small town a lot in the last few months.     A few weeks ago I had some free time and managed to sneak off and Explore a little bit more.   I hope you enjoy!

 

  

 

This very page is looking for many more readers.

So please share this page if you enjoy what you see.

Tons of posts and pictures in the works from across this amazing state!

 

 

Although after living near Phoenix for so many years in the past,

I tend to stay far away from this region.

And not visit the area   any time of the year. 

 

 

 

 

As is the case many a day

the clouds and sky were amazing on this day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Near the town cemetery

 

 

 

First stop after some errands of course was the

local cemetery. 

I have pictures from great cemetery's all across this great country.

And find them a very peaceful and calming place to Explore.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sign just past the cemetery.

On this day I did choose to keep out.

Many times I do not follow signs rules.

 

 

 

 

 

On the edge of the cemetery  I found a large fenced in area

with what appeared to be the foundations of two very old buildings.

No signs could be found, and I have still yet to solve the mystery of what these buildings once were.

 

 

Back in the truck   I spotted this shot while zooming down an old road.

 

In the wide turn of ST David  by the highway department buildings

just before the trailer park  is a road.

A park sign is falling down near this  proclaiming "Pioneer Park."

 

I have been down this road with the kiddos before.  But we got bored long before we found any traces of a park.  At that point you could still attempt to drive down the road.

Now it is blocked off just past the fire station. 

 

 

 

 

Time to park.

 

 

 

 

Check out that cloud forming to the right of the old fire truck.

At least I hope the truck is not still in use.

 

 

Not sure what this is all about 

but thought it was a neat picture of sorts.

Just before the gate  and that start of my walk.

 

 

 

 

I am very easily amused

but thought these offered a great backdrop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wanna swing??  ;)

 

 

At some point I came across old Pioneer Park.

Lost in time.

It was almost dark by the time I got here so it was really neat but also just a little bit spooky.

I tried to research the park  but mostly just found articles about the park being haunted.

I later heard that the entire area was a shop classes project.  

 

I also was told that a lot of druggies hang out here after dark.
I found no evidence of this.

Maybe because it is a good hike into the area and

they are to lazy to meet here.  Maybe I was just lucky to see no one on this night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So many trails

So little time!!

 

 

 

I have just learned there is a lake   of sorts in Wilcox Arizona 

so will check that out soon.

I have MANY blog posts and pictures in the works!!

 

As always

 

**Happy Trails!!**

 

Here Comes The Rain!

              Today has been a rare productive day off work.  Earlier I snuck just up the road and found an actual waterfall in Arizona!   Today it was just a trickle.  But I am not sure with the little pickup I was in today, I could get back out of the location after a big rain storm.  Of course I got lots of pictures.    These will appear soon in my newest local Exploring blog page    http://exarizonagobensonbobcats.blogspot.com/       I am happy to report that I am slowly getting more readers for this new page.   Yesterdays post on the page already has 40 views!   Now I am chilling on our car port watching the afternoon storm move in.   Last nights storm did not amount to much in actual rain, but the light show with lighting was amazing!  In my local picture taking I almost wait for rainy conditions  because it cools the whole hike off for sure.  And because the skies here are full on sunshine SOOOO much it is great for some contrast in my pictures.   The exact opposite could be said when we lived in Washington state. 


   

 

 

After living near Phoenix I personally believe there are very few reasons to visit the town ANY time of year. But what do I know?

 

**
Productive day for once. Afternoon storm moving in! Tomorrow *except for the DMV is all about date night. Great dinner, maybe some gambling, and than off to the Weird Al concert.

   So with our rigs in and out of the shops mostly in we have been trying to use this vehicle of the relatives. The title is beyond screwed up, but we found a loop hole at the DMV. And only need ONE piece of paper from the relatives to make it legal. THREE weeks now, and we still don't have that ONE piece of paper. Since than I have gotten pulled over by the Highway Patrol and stressed each and every time one of us drives this. Court should be fun. I am writing this long rant because of how ridiculous it is. I can't call into work anymore but have to get there. The same family that wants me to help with our family also can't get me ONE piece of paper. Really WTF? The truck is still in someone elses name. I am about ready to turn it into an abandoned vehicle and back into the original owners/family members problem. How many people agree with this thought line? Because right now we basically have a paper weight!--- I have had a lot of paper weights in my time.  This is to nice a little truck to just give up  but the time line is beyond ridiculous.  On some what a side note   my  buddy "Professor Getty" has volunteered to come this way if we decide to make the truck disappear in the desert some were.   We will baha it into the middle of no were  have an Exploring and I am sure picture filled hike back to his awaiting rental/get away car. 

 

 

I have it!

 

 

 

 

Not sure if this is racist or funny.

But I laughed  so here yha go!

 

 

 

 

 

Sounds about right to me!
