White Dog Overland Bloody Basin Overnighter

White Dog Overland had an informal trail run along Bloody Basin Road.  Due to other plans, we could only make it for Friday night and a few hours on Saturday.  We rolled into camp a mile or so inland from I17 in the late afternoon.  Plenty of time to set up our tent and start meeting the large crowd of ~30 people.  There was a great campfire as the temperature dropped.  In the morning, Lily was shivering and we had to bundle her up.  We then headed out a couple of hours before the lineup left.  

We headed east a few miles and hit an old homestead.  Then we headed back out Blood Basin and took a side trip to a nice hike to a Indian cultural site.  Then back home.  It was a great time meeting Cody and all his supporters.

Drywall Done

The drywall is pretty much done! After they clean up, the next step is painting.

Big Sandy Shoot 2024

My first time at the Big Sandy Shoot was the 20th annivesary.  I had a fun time checking out all the machine guns and got to shoot an M2 and M16. 

This is a bargain for me!

Lots of firepower on this line

Board of fun

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.

Insulation

The exterior insulation has been sprayed on.

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.

Yavapai County Fair 2024

I never cared for the county fair in San Diego.  It was too crowded and expensive and was more like Disneyland than a fair.  But the Yavapai County fair is more like a traditional fair.  We went to see the animals.  Unfortunately, a big storm rolled in and we weren't able to see the rodeo.
