Wupatki Sunrise

A young couple from Tennessee shared a "panoramic" photo of yesterday morning's sunrise from Wupatki Ruins National Monument. This fun loving couple will go on my list of all-time favorites. He works at Nissan and she is a physical therapist. Lots of folks talk about wanting to catch a sunrise from a pretty spot... not many actually follow thru.

Great View, Thanks.

44 Years Ago My Imagination was launched into space

I was six years old, and it is the FIRST movie I truly remember seeing, opened in April of 1968. After doing some quick math in my head a realization occurred how I would be an adult in 2001... possibly visiting a space station, and exploring a moon base.

The reality hit me in 2001 while driving an 18 wheeled truck cross country and showering in truck stops, the closest I was going to get to space was listening to satellite radio. I was using satellite technology for GPS, and listening to stories of alien influence on the world on Coast to Coast radio with Art Bell.

Visualizing our place in the universe is still an exercise in imagination... every once in a while we get some help. A new Google Chrome Experiment called 100,000 Stars might help. While on the Arizona Highways, we get to spend a lot of time looking at the stars.

Staring into the Grand Canyon everyday makes me feel insignificant. This experiment from Google just adds to my feelings of insignificance.

Finding Egyptian Artifacts at Grand Canyon

The Kincaid Story... A Journey along the Colorado River in 1909

In 1909 a front page story appeared in the Phoenix Gazette Newspaper, in Arizona. The story detailed the exploits of a man who claimed to find numerous Egyptian artifacts, and tunnels during his journey through the Grand Canyon.

Arizona Relics from 800 a.d.

New Video from H2 Channel about Arizona Relics found near Tucson.

America Unearthed: The Desert Cross (43:48) TV-14

A cache of crosses, swords and other relics pulled from the desert in the 1920s begs an intriguing question: Were Europeans in the American Southwest hundreds of years before Columbus reached America?

My Favorite photo of 2012

On May 20 of this year, northern Arizona was treated to an annular solar eclipse. Photographer Clinton Melander was at Horseshoe Bend near Page, AZ and captured this stunning multiple image. My personal favorite shot of 2012!

“Grand Canyon Classic Tour from Sedona/Flagstaff”

Reviewed October 13, 2011

We considered driving to the Grand Canyon and doing our own tour but decided to go with a tour company so both of us could enjoy all the sites. Boy did we get more than we bargained for. We had the Best Tour Guide I have ever been around. We were with him almost 12 hours and he shared unbelievable information almost the entire time. He told us about the geology (he is a geology major), he told us history, he talked about wildlife and the all the plant life. He could not have been more thorough. He was a wonderful storyteller, had a great sense of humor and made for such a delightful trip. He even knows where to get the best shots for next year's Christmas Card. If you go with Red Stone, make sure you ask for JR. You will not be disappointed. This forever changed our opinions of tour guides--best tour ever!

“Best Tour Ever- Make sure and request J.R. he was incredible!!!”

Reviewed November 1, 2011

We had never been to the Grand Canyon. We did the Explorer Tour. Our guide was J.R. He was so informative, fun, and knowledgable. He knew the best places to go and all the history behind it. I cannot imagine the trip without him. We would have missed out on so much! We had a great group of people on our bus and he made it so fun and exciting the day flew by. At the end of the tour we were amazed at how much we had learned and seen! I would highly recommend the tour and again be sure to ask for J.R. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!! Best money we spent!!
