Camping on the Rim

Here we are on the edge of the Mogollion Rim - we spent a delightful couple of days camping at Milk Ranch Point. 

To say it was peaceful would be an understatement.  The only challenge we faced - the bugs.  They seem to like Brian much better than Vicki - so it is all good!!

It was so cool - we bought mountain bikes.  Totally sure it would have made a great video watching us ride the first time.  It is much more difficult to ride up hill than down hill.  Though downhill is a tad bit scarier - especially with all those rocks in the road!!  Having those new knees is beyond words.  We are so thankful for both technology and a great doctor.

We drove the Rim Road - saw a mama deer and her baby, watched the progress of the forest since the Dude Fire nine years ago, enjoyed the changing colors of the land and the sky.


One of Brian's favorite parts of camping - pizza!!   Somehow pizza tastes so much better when it is cooked out in the open.  In fact, all food tastes better when eaten around a fire.

Our last night out our fire started nicely - the wonderful smell....  well then the rain decided to put the fire out - it literally rained all night long.  No S'Mores for Brian!!  We sat in the trailer and played Zilch and War.  By morning the sun was out (as were the bugs!).  We packed up and headed home.

God is so creative - the colors, the sounds, the smells.  We can't wait to see wait Heaven will be like.  You see, He took six days to create the earth - He has been working on Heaven for over 2,000 years.

God is good.
