I am back from my little break. I know it has been a while since I last posted, but I had several other projects (and one Masters degree) that required my special attention. Now, back to our regularly scheduled message…Oh yes Arizona, it is that time of year again, in those parts of our great state where we have trees, their leaves are beginning to turn magnificent shades of orange, brown and yellow. Especially up north in the White Mountains and San Francisco Peaks you can feel the change of the seasons.
This is a great time to get out and experience the wonderful sights, smells and experiences of the great state of Arizona. Regardless of whether you are spending time up at the ski run at Snowbowl before the first snow comes in, or if you are over enjoying the majesty of the Chiricahuas, or spending time down in Wilcox at one of the local farms picking fresh produce…now is the time to get out and enjoy the state. No matter your choice, you can easily find a cabin or bed and breakfast to provide you with shelter and hospitality for the evening.
If you want to get in that last round of boating up at Apache Lake, or some fishing over at Greer, there are plenty of nice family and pet friendly cabins in those areas. My brother-in-law and several of his friends love to go over to Hannegans Meadow this time of year to spend some time stalking the Elk and seeing what they look like this year. These guys are serious hunters and love nothing more than to spend some quality time out there in the woods. Take a little time on line, find the right Arizona cabin for you and then get going. In the Arizona Mountains this time of year doesn’t last long. Soon snow and old man winter will be upon us…and then we will have to shift our focus to winter sports.
There are many great private cabins, resorts and lodges in Northern Arizona. It’s hard to decide where to stay sometime. I usually like out of the way places that are surrounded by forest and have very few people around.
