Our spot for the next couple weeks is up on the Mogollon Rim in Arizona, east of Payson. We rode here our first year full timing but that was five years ago! The Rim is amazing with pine, fire,...
Scarecrows and Blue Ridge Hike
After a full two weeks in Pinetop, AZ it was time to move on. But first, I did an abbreviated Blue Ridge hike and we walked the Meadow Trail to see all the scarecrows. The whole Blue Ridge Loop...
