Bulgarian Wine
I don't think I have ever seen anything produced in Bulgaria, but this wine is pretty decent.

First Snow in Prescott
We woke up this morning to our first snow in Prescott! It was a fairly light dusting but covered much of the cars and roof. We drove up to the house to see a bit more snow on the trees.

Framing Getting Close To Done
Lots going on the past couple weeks. The columns were put up and the roof extended out. The plumbers and electricians are still hard at work. The low voltage guy also started the networking.

Flagstaff Day Trip
For Labor Day, we headed up to Flagstaff for a planned overnight jeep camping trip.
- First stop was the visitor center at the train station. We picked up a list of local hikes.
- We tried hiking Buffalo Park but there was an event going on and we couldn't get close enough to park. We then tried getting lunch but downtown was very crowded so headed out.
- Hiked Fatman's Loop which is a very nice loop.
- Checked out Cinder Hills OHV. It was very crowded and the road was super bumpy so we turned back.
- Drove the scenic loop through Sunset Crater NM - it was raining on and off but we did the short walk at Lava Flow.
- Took the loop to Wapatki NM. We made a couple of stops along the road but the rain and wind kept us moving along.
- Head down 89 to Whitehorse Rd (FS 418). The plan was to look for a campsite but it was too rainy so we made the drive through. It was very scenic and we saw lots of hunters driving around.
- We took Hart Praire Rd (FS 151) and then headed home.

Jeep Tire Upgrade
In preparation for my recent Sedona trip, I upgrade the tires on the Jeep. To get some additiona clearance, I went with 35" AO2's on the stock rims. There is some question on wether you can fit 35's on the rims but it has worked well so far.
To support the larger tires, I also had to get a new spare tire mount. I went witht the Rugged Ridge Spartacus mount. This gives the tire more room and also strengthens the tailgate so I can safely mount gas cans on the tire.
Summit 4x4 did great work on the installation. They even made a custom mount for the stupid pedestrian warning speaker.
