In 1890, Gold King was a suburb of Jerome, where miners were digging for copper, and instead struck gold!  You can walk in and out of old mercantile buildings, assay office, schoolhouse,  residences, a blacksmith shop from 1901, see the operation of an old saw mill, old mining equipment, see dozens of antique cars and fire engines, feed the animals that reside here (a donkey, some chickens, rabbits, and a goat), and take many amazing photographs!

Well within the borders of the Navajo Nation in Arizona, Chinle was our final destination to see the great southwest ruins. After miles and miles of red sand and dust devils, we arrived in Chinle. Grabbing a bite at a local restraunt, we went into the canyon. We had decided to visit White House Ruins. Though in the land of the Navajo, White House was built by the Anasazi.  There are several ways to get to the canyon floor for a visit. Hire an expensive 4x4 to drive you down a bumpy road,...

well since I'm new to this.. and I don't think it would be possible to go back and retrase my travels and blog about each one.. I'll recap here.. many of mine haven't been as far away as many of you here but i'm just getting started on this whole traveling thing.. ;-)..

Today was the Grand Canyon, but from the North Rim. Most times you will see reviews and blogs from the south rim, which is the most popular point for tourists. We drive about 80 miles south from Kanab, Utah to the end of the road.   We spent nearly the entire day strolling along at one point and then driving to the next and doing it all again.  But let me remind everyone that this area is at the 8,000 foot level, so the air is thin and anyone with breathing or heart problems shou...

What an amazing city. A lot to do and to experience.. Had the best time in Sin city.. What happens in vegas....:-)

Took a trip to dig for fossils at U-Dig fossil quarry in Delta Utah. I traveled to Zion National Park,The Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Red Canyon. Very Beautiful trip with alot of fun things to do.

Grand Canyon National Park, a World Heritage Site, encompasses 1,218,375 acres and lies on the Colorado Plateau in northwestern Arizona. The land is semi-arid and consists of raised plateaus and structural basins typical of the southwestern United States. Drainage systems have cut deeply through the rock, forming numerous steep-walled canyons. Forests are found at higher elevations while the lower elevations are comprised of a series of desert basins. Well known for its geologic ...

Travelled the West coast USA last year with family. Went via all the main attractions being, Grand canyon, death valley, lake Taho, Las Veags and got to see some family in San Franciso.

So I get down to Phoenix...go out to dinner with my family...which I think I still feel better, until I got the food infront of me.  And we hangout for a bit.  We get home..and guess what?  I'm still not 100% better...Blahhh...there went the food into the porcelin thrown.  The next day I did feel 100% better...no really, I did..and we went and got sushi and sushimi...I've never had it before...  It was good...it's not something that I would go out of my way to get.....

For the Memorial Weekend I went to relax a little at Lake Havasu City, AZ. Visited the nice peaceful lake and checked out the London Bridge that was once falling down. Had a nice weekend!

Here are some photos from our bus (VW), my sister and her husband and from me. All the information about this journey, you will find on: www.buessli.ch

1500 miles in 5 days around 4 Corners

not only was I completely overwhelmed by the natural beauty and colors of sedona, but also felt, literally, lighter or posessed, when i stood atop a mountain, on a vortex. indescribable feeling of being lighter, and heavier, at the same time. whew! i believe that the descriptions below explain the sort of energy i felt, though it seemed as though it were yin/yang. an equal balance. :) there are five main vortices, and i was on the airport vortex...which is so called because it is by the ...

Terrific time at the Grand Canyon!  Hiked a bit of the Bright Angel Trail, rode the shuttle bus to Hopi Point on the South side, returned to the east side Desert View and climbed the Tower, etc.  Mather Campground was beautiful.  I was again surprised at how big the place is!  It looks like on the map you can walk from the campground to the rim, but that is a LONG walk.  In fact, we didn't even bike it.  So we were glad to be able to drive and see different ove...

My friend Sara and I drove to Phoenix for spring break. The highlights were an Angels vs Diamondbacks baseball game and a hike at Squaw Peak.
