We are so lucky to live in this incredible state. Where else can you go from desert, to red rocks to high mountain magic in a matter of hours?
I just finished another series of my favorite assignments this past week. We call them Arizona Family Adventures, three nights of taking you folks to some of my most loved spots. This time, we centered on day trips from the valley, because we know everybody is busy, making it hard to take three or four days for a trip to places like Monument Valley or the White Mountains.
What’s green, slimy, small and inexpensive, oh yes, and can cause you some of the nastiest stomach problems you’ll ever have? Give up?
Next time you see a red tail hawk, smile…because last Saturday, 8/4, the good people of Liberty Wildlife in Scottsdale did a wonderful act of love.
We take the “family” part of Arizona’s Family seriously, and now our family has lost two of it’s brightest lights. It would be so easy to write a book on each of these guys.
Summer’s here and the time is right, for vacations, long weekends and day trips to our incredible National Forests. And as usual, our time in the forest again goes hand in hand with the driest conditions of the year. That means fire restrictions.
Is it illegal to drive in reverse in Glendale? To hunt a camel? To let a donkey sleep in your bathtub? If you check certain websites, they tell you these and other wacky laws are still on the books in Arizona and some of it’s cities.
A chance to take a chance. It’s all most people really want. And maybe those who’ve been denied too many chances want it even more.
I hear it almost everyday. It’s true, I do have a great job, traveling our wonderful state, looking for beautiful spots and interesting characters to put on our 3TV’s Good Evening Arizona.
It’s that time of year again. You know, when the temperatures finally dip down below 100, sometimes even into the 90’s. it’s called October and in the high country, the weather is beautiful.
Face it, most of us here in our fair state are from some place else…many from spots in the country where there’re these tall things, called “trees” with green things, known as “leaves” sticking out of them.
Almost every spring, I’m blessed to do a report on a wonderful place called Canaan in the Desert.
Just south of Shea Blvd. on 40th street in Phoenix, this peaceful garden focuses on the crucifixion story. Trails through lush desert plants lead to different stations where stone carvings reveal the last days of Jesus.
This is the time of year to take to the trails, and those trails are right here in the valley.
Mighty mussels are invading our beloved rivers and lakes. What can you do about it? So just what am I talking about?
As we build our homes throughout the desert, we misplace the homes of others. I’m talking about burrowing owls, the only birds of prey that live underground.
