We Saw Bobcats. We saw Big Lake. We saw the parade by accident.

The day after we ran up to Prettytown, knocked out some errands, and then crashed back at SandRock.

Then we woke and made another drive, full circle the long way back to San Vicente de la Cienega. This quick rough vid is about that yesterday.

I didn't have plans to pull the camera out at all, but when we found ourselves at Big Lake I did anyway. That's the first windy clip. This is one of the most remote parts of the AZ high country, as you can tell from the wolf habitat sign. It was lusciously beautiful up there and I hope that comes through.

With the action cam in my pocket, I made a second clip, of Alli sleeping like the cool travel cat she's becoming. She seems to be feeling much better, and she's looking good too.

On down the 180, we saw bobcats in the road near Cliff. The last of them vanishing around the corner makes the thumbnail for this one. I will post a larger version of that pic at the blog as I struggle to get caught up over there.

Coming down into town at dusk they were blocking off the streets. We unloaded the rental car, set up the Gilanet, went downtown to eat, and found ourselves nearly in the middle of the holiday parade.

It's very early on Sunday morning as I write from "home" and give you this early homespun gift.

The work is brewing and doing, and can always be done better, and that's the idea. Pray for me as dawn breaks.
