Impossible? Your Perspective May Need to Change! - Aug 26 01:15 AM
"I'm too old for this !$%#%!"  Complaining loudly to no one in particular, a hiker came into view 50 or 60 feet below me.
"How old are you?" I called.  George (79) and I (55) were coming down from the summit of Picacho Peak, the site of the western-most battle of the Civil War.  We were walking.  The only mountain climbing gear we had were walking sticks made from the stalks of an agave.
The photo to the ...

Canyon Lake ~ A 30 minute trip from Mesa, Arizona - Mar 16 12:16 AM
I shared some of the photos and history of our day trip to the Lost Dutchman State Park yesterday, so I put together some more photos and dialogue on our continued trip on Highway 88 north and east.
Almost immediately after we exited the Lost Dutchman State Park heading north, I noted a sign indicating that we were eight miles from Canyon Lake. Meanwhile, the desert was in bloom.
Alongside the road, on the hillsides, there ...

Lost Dutchman State Park - Apache Junction, Arizona - Wildflower Hotspot! - Mar 14 11:57 PM
I was reading the newspaper this morning, and on the "front" page, there was an aricle with bright yellow poppies displayed in the very center of the page. Because of our rain this winter season, we have wildflowers everywhere. On the side of the freeways, in the foothills, and yes, at Lost Dutchman State Park. The paper warned that if we want to see these wildflowers, we had better do it earlier rather than later this weekend ...

Gold found in Arizona's Valley of the Sun! - Jan 31 10:04 AM

With Gold trading at an all time high or $935 per ounce, I feel it's only appropriate to tell you where to find some. 
Mere miles from where I blog, are the Superstition Mountains. Sojourners travel from around the world in search of the "Lost Dutchman's Mine." Heres's a synopsis from wikipedia:
"In this story (actually two interconnected stories), members of the Apache tribe are said to have a very rich gold mine located in the Superstition ...

Arizona Renaissance Festival - Showtime in Gold Canyon East! - Feb 09 06:13 PM
It is an absolutely beautiful morning with highs promised to be in the mid-70's. I need to get out of the house, get my Vitamin D rays, and go for a ride. Since we had never been to the Renaissance Festival and Artisan Marketplace, and it's only about 12 miles east of where we live, we head out to see what we have been missing. Today is the first day of eight weekends from 10:00 a.m. to ...

Real Estate Market Conditions - May 15 01:38 PM
First of all, there is no such thing as a "national real estate market." All markets are much more local. Most experts agree, though, that the real estate markets throughout the US (with some exceptions) bottomed out in the 4th Quarter of 2006. However, there has not been much of a recovery yet; inventories are still high and prices are still soft.The NAR reported that transactions were down only 9% in the 3 Quarter of 2006. ...

Rising Gas Prices Are Affecting Us All - Jun 27 06:53 PM
The rising cost of gas is a problem for us all. As Realtors it seems there is more referring going on of clients who are a bit too far away to drive about without using a lot of gas. More agents seem to be thinking it makes better sense to give the client to another agent who is closer and take a referral fee for the referral instead of spending so much in gas to drive around.
But it's ...
