Click on the link above to see pictures from our little camping trip with our awesome neighbours and Mama Rosa.For some reason I called the album "payson slide show", but we actually camped in the forest going north past Pine, AZ a few miles south off the Blue Ridge Reservoir turn off. We had fun camping out in the forest where the air is filled with the smell of pines. We explored the little canyon behind our camp spot and called it the "enchanted meadow" we saw many elk prints, a wild turkey, elder berry bushes, wild mint, sting berry bushes, a little cave and my first fossil ever. We spent a day climbing at Jacks Canyon, took the Kayak to Blue Ridge Reservoir and climbed up nearby Moqui lookout tower http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=34.5642&lon=-111.169&datum=nad27&u=4&layer=DRG&size=m&s=50 where the hummingbirds just bombarded the feeder that the firefighters had set up for them.

We liked blue Ridge Reservoir so much that we returned last weekend to fish for trout. We where as happy as one can be paddleing around in the pouring rain. Yepp - that happens to people that stay in Az for too long ;-)
