CrowMac Creek: A Dream or a Reprieve From Reality

-
     There are times when life hits below the belt, when a relationship seems to tug at inner peace, stretching the emotional sinew that holds two people together. Belief in old friendships breaks like  thirsty twigs on a dusty trail. Faith fails and falls with the evening sun. No one needs CrowMac Creek any more than I do, but I have forgotten how to get there.

Arizona Ghost Towns: Charleston

-

 Charleston was the home of the people who processed the ore from various mines in the area. It was established in 1878. Some histories state that Charleston was a peaceful town, others claim Charleston was more dangerous than Tombstone. The reality was that after the "gunfight at the OK Corral," and the "vendetta ride," the town and the area in general area became more peaceful. A large Sonoran Earthquake destroyed Charleston on May 3rd, 1887. The only traces of the old town are the remains of the old adobe buildings. Old photographs indicate that building materials were taken from the ruins such as metal and bricks were removed and used somewhere else. A large Sonoran Earthquake destroyed it on May 3rd, 1887.

What if Trump Wins in 2024?

 2  Nov 2024 I've worried about another Trump presidency for months. Friends have tried to reassure me. "Trump won't win." But I don't feel assured. Though a great number of the old guard Republicans have turned against Trump and are spending thousands on anti-Trump commercials, seemingly with no effect. It doesn't matter than Trump is a liar.

At first I thought that Trump simply forgets what the truth is, but now I believe that he knows exactly what he is saying and what his words will do. The world witnessed him telling his followers "fight like Hell," and they did. To some, it doesn't matter that Trump childishly calls world leaders silly names. It doesn't matter that his past administration was a revolving door with members not only qui...

AZ Trail Update July 23, 2025

 So, in life, hopes and expectations don't always go the way we want, and my expectations seem to have been a little different than what I received. Amanda told me that she didn't feel comfortable spending the night outdoors in a tent. That's understandable. I grew up with parents who enjoyed camping out and when I was in my twenties and Sandy, my ex, grew up spending time in the outdoors. Amanda didn't have those experiences, so I can't blame her. Camping out can be scary. That being said, Amanda likes the hikes and has volunteered to help Jesse re-supply me. And that is very big. I am prepared. I have often camped by myself, so this is something I can live with. I have the "Far Out" App so I will know where I am on the trail, where I can find water, and decent camping areas. I have a charger to keep all of my electronics working, To back this up, I will have a good GPS unit that will verify what I am finding on the Far Out App.  As long as I get the nece...
