    I constantly think what a BEAUTIFUL country we live in.
    The best in the world.

    The rest of us are completely stressed out, and here you are in a zen-like journey from one little slice of heaven to another. If ever you run into a spot of trouble, just remember that millions would gladly trade places with you.

    Yep, no doubts physical environment is the icing on the cake, but frame of mind makes or breaks every place/moment for sure! I'm guessing you do, but just in case you don't, I bet Eckhart Tolle's teachings would be/is a nice fit for you. Lot's of free lectures, and such, on UA-cam. As always, I appreciate you Brian!

    I was camping by myself for several days in a camp site near Mount Langley’s trail head to acclimate to altitude. It was tranquil. I didn’t do much except cooking, reading, and sleeping. I still remember that experience.

I lived in the Phoenix are way back in the 70s, and worked for Salt River Project... both electric and irrigation divisions... left in '76. remember tubing down the Salt closer to Saguaro lake down in the valley. and Show Low... spent a night in that very wally world by the hospital... yep a bit of noise. Thanks for taking me back in time... safe travels...

    Hey, enjoy that one great drone shots too. Take care and see you soon. Interesting fact on Show Low legend on how the town got its name. According to a legend, the city's unusual name[5] resulted from a marathon poker game between Corydon E. Cooley and Marion Clark. The two men were equal partners in a 100,000-acre (400 km2) ranch; however, the partners determined that there was not enough room for both of them in their settlement, and agreed to settle the issue over a game of "Seven Up" (with the winner taking the ranch and the loser leaving). After the game seemed to have no winner in sight, Clark said, "If you can show low, you win." In response, Cooley turned up the deuce of clubs (the lowest possible card) and replied, "Show low it is.".[6] As a tribute to the legend, Show Low's main street is named "Deuce of Clubs" in remembrance.[5]

    Brian you seem to really make great choices that lead to your “ life experiences” . I love that you recognize the truly wonderful ones and share the joy of them with us . I can say I know when a special event or location just hits that magic spot. It can be as simple as a walk in the backyard but when it’s great it’s great. Solitude certainly helps. Thanks for your work you put in.

    It got down to 46 last night in the mountains of Michoacán in central Mexico. My wife was complaining. I said for some people that’s the day’s high temperature. She wasn’t impressed I’m impressed by your toughness. If we had to drive our van to snow country we’d both curl up and freeze.
