We spent the night in the pines near Luna Lake in Alpine, Arizona. Nice place, but not enough time in the area, like so many other trips where we race from place to place.

There are some pretty plants worth checking out.

And plants in a multitude of colors that make one think of fall. Oh yeah, it is fall, though this can be difficult to remember in the somber desert of eternal browns.

Our buried jar of various things on our 40-acre plot of land in St. Johns, Arizona. When Y2K goes down later this year, we’ll be ready to grab our toilet paper and head for the hills to get away from the approaching apocalypse that is almost certain to go down. Do you have your year’s supply of dried food to survive the chaos our computer-dependent culture has created?
