A Small Quail Family

A family of Quails!
This is a small family since I usually see at least five babies in a family.
Look how big the feet are on the baby!

Red Rocks of Sedona Arizona and Camping

We took our new roof top tent for a spin last weekend. I was a little worried about sleeping on top of our FJ, but less worried then sleeping on the ground with all of the threatening critters. We went off-roading on Broken Arrow first and had a great time...with a lot of great people. Then we went and had Mexican Food at Javelina Cantina...then we drove to our campsite and set up our tent. It took about 25 minutes. I imagine it won't take much more then 15 minutes the next time. It's so easy to just unfold your tent, drop the ladder, and open the windows. This roof top tent is available from CampingLabs.com. The mattress is very comfy. However, I'm going to transform a pillow top mattress cover to fit over top of the mattress that comes with the tent. Then it will be perfect! The weather was wonderful --it did get a bit chilly that night....about 40 degrees, but we had quilts and blankets so it was snuggly warm.

Enjoy!

It's Good To See You Again...

I feel a breeze and cool, moist air. It’s the freshest air I have ever breathed. As I take a step forward I hear the mechanical sound of a lock turning closed behind me. I turn around and can feel a wall, but as I run my hand across the surface I find no handle. There is very little light here and I cannot make out what has happened to the door I just walked through. I try to calm the thoughts going through my mind. How will I return?

Where am I? What is that sound creeping in? It is dark here, but the moon casts enough light so that I can see that I’m standing on a sandy, dirt path. Since I cannot go back I decide to follow the path. As I walk the sound gets louder. It is a familiar sound, but one that I have only heard from recordings. Peaceful and powerful. As I pass a huge outcropping of rocks I can see the moonlight glittering on a huge mass of water. It is turbulent and is rushing towards me, just as I take a step back it recedes. I hear the voices from the tunnels. Stella and her companion. I realize they have seen me and by their tone are discussing my presence.

Stella walks over to me. She looks at me carefully and then says, with a sigh “you shouldn’t be here…you can’t go back now.” She asks, “did you follow us?” I tell her, “no, not really I was on a journey of my own but then saw you in the tunnels.” “ok,” she says. I can see her visibly relax. I won’t tell her of my possessions. She says, “come and wait with us, there is no where else to go and we can’t leave you here.” I think about everything she has said to me and now realize that I am worried. I can’t go back and I can’t stay here…what exactly does that mean? Where are we going?

As I follow Stella I catch a glimpse of a shadowy figure in the rocks to my left. The shadowy figure reaches out to me and I feel a finger touch my cheek. I gasp and Stella stops and asks me what is wrong. I tell her and her face shows panic. She takes my hand and pulls me along quickly. We finally reach the person that I saw her with in the tunnels. Once again I do not recognize him, but he says to me…”hello Sarah, it’s good to see you again.”
