New Year’s Day hike OR Life’s a balancing act

01 Gaelyn climbing fence to Weaver Mts (810x574)

Second year for a New Year’s Day hike might be the beginning of a new tradition. 

I love being able to hike right outside my door.  Well, actually we usually drive the 1.5 miles to park near the gate, then off we go, up into the Weaver Mountains.

02 View W Weaver Mts Yarnell AZ (1024x768)

I know I’ve posted before about hiking in the Weavers, in fact that’s where last year’s first hike was as well.

03 Property for sale sign Weaver Mts Yarnell AZ (1024x768)

I would love to live up here but the properties are just too expensive plus would have to bring in utilities from the access road.  Out of my budget even though I’m kind of looking for a place to call my own.  And, no I don’t have horses.

04 Mike looking for gold Weaver Mts Yarnell AZ (1024x768)

Mike thinks there’s gold and looks at every black sand opportunity.  Hope he finds a big nugget one of these days then could afford to buy the land, and keep golding.

05 Rock gateway Weaver Mts Yarnell AZ (1024x767)

Although there are no houses built up on these many acres obviously someone had a dream.

06 Balacing boulders Weaver Mts Yarnell AZ (1024x768)

It’s a real balancing act….

07 Balancing boulder Weaver Mts Yarnell AZ (1024x719)

I’m talking about life here.

08 Balancing boulder Weaver Mts Yarnell AZ (1024x768)

Maybe I should start off small.

Highway 89 5th Annual Yard Sale

Saturday, November 5th in Peeples Valley and Yarnell located on Highway 89 many local people set up their tables of yard sale goods on the sidewalks in both towns.
01 Snow Yarnell AZ (767x1024)
This is what we woke up to Saturday morning.
02 Inside Patty & Sons Yarnell AZ (1024x756)
Mike’s Mom owns an antique store, Patty & Sons, and she buys out estate sales.  Sometimes that means getting a lot of stuff that doesn’t fit in the store.
03 Mike, Max & Cliff outside Patty & Sons at yard sale Yarnell AZ (1024x757)
Three of the five sons
So the parking lot was full of tables and because of the cold windy weather was the only outside sale going on.  And we were all very busy.

Hi, I’m Gaelyn, the Geogypsy

I retired after 29 summer seasons as a Park Ranger, traveling solo for 40+ years. My passions include travel, connecting to nature, photography, and sharing stories.

I started exploring US National Parks in 1977 and 20 years later became a seasonal Park Ranger.  I’ve lived full-time in a RV for 30 years working summers and playing winters.  I’m still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow old, other than grow up.

Let’s share our stories.  Here’s more of mine…

My wheeleastate

I am currently…

…boondocking somewhere in southern Arizona.  In the area, give a shout.
