Awesome pics, it looks like everyone had a blast. Good looking trap you guys made there, I've never seen one quite like it.

Great family getaway!
 
Hey! There is a LOT of kids in there... :D Great pictures. seems like you had a great time.

I've got a mate in Arizona and no I wouldn't have thought those pics came from there. He's USAF and any green bits in the pics he's shown me have come from flying out of state.

Trembling aspens, I love the way they spook some people.

I used to think the same when I had only been to Western and Southern AZ. But much of the state North of Phoenix to Flagstaff is National Forest and very green. They get plenty of snow and wild life. Even Elk live around the area. AZ is a great place for car camping with the family.:thumbup:
 
The mogollon rim is a great place to camp. My family and I go there all of the time, actually it was just a couple of weeks ago we stayed by black canyon lake. I love those aspens though, were on the rim was that?

Thanks for sharing.
 
awesome pics, thanks for sharing.

looks like everyone had fun.

i just got a mikro canadian and used it for a couple of days and i love it so far. the blade is shorter than the blades on my stockman but the stoutness of a fixed blade is great even in such a tiny package.
 
When one thinks of AZ, ,most think of desert terrain
I thought the same way
Then I went to Flagstaff :eek::thumbup:
It looked just like Tahoe
Pine trees, rivers, lakes
Flagstaff is now one of my favorite towns to visit
I got accepted to the NAU MBA program a few years ago
But, I didn't have 30K a year extra lying around

I've heard of that Mogollon Ridge
Always wondered what the terrain was like
Aspen trees in AZ!!
Say it ain't so.....

Nice pics and thanks for sharing
 
i will get some more ready of another trip that should knock your socks off. be on the look out for it. it is very diverse here and it is always interesting to me when i travel to other places to hear the things people say; such as its all desert or a wasteland or all cactus.
