Desert Beauty.

I took the dogs for a walk yesterday and went through my neighborhood on the end of the walk and happened upon these HUGE white cactus flowers. They were like the size of a softball or better yet a BIG waffle cone filled with delicious gelato.

Adventures..

Superior

They filmed U-Turn here..

These crazy bikes look like they were from the movie Batman.. they had a full engine running them.

I liked this one the best. He said he's just storing it there for a friend. I believe he said it was a '66 Harley.. so awesome.

Globe/Miami

love this building

crazy dog on top of the car. I HATE when dogs are chained up like this.. there were a ton of dogs in this neighborhood..esp Pit's

My favorite house of the day....well, wait... the one at the end of this post is pretty rad also... no, this one STILL wins

I want to go so I can win the GLOCK!!!

toilet paper ass..

"Always rum for one more"

the bartender here was SO rad... the bar was super cool also.

The BEST advertisement "it's not just a shirt, it's a magnet"

the guys at the TapRoom told us this used to be a brothel and on the other side it was a super fancy restaurant back in it's heyday

had to make Ryan back up to get this shot.. check out the rifle case on the side of the moped!!!!

I want to buy this house! The bartender at the taproom told us about this rad house. It's for sale and it's supposed to be haunted, PLUS whom ever lived at the house left it with EVERYTHING in it.. antiques galore. I SO wanted to go in but the neighbors were home and most of it was boarded up.

It had it's own lil cave in the back
and outhouse

with lots of junk in it-a big old trunk is on the other side and an old bed.

see... everything left AS IS!!! I LOVE stuff like this.

boarded up... ;o(

Sunbathing dogs sharing a small dog bed

this works almost every time.. I bought it at my favorite store in LA-Wacko. My Mom nearly had a heart attack. I'm def not looking forward to the moment a real one shows up and tries to mate with it.

specimens from my bug collection. EEEEEEK!!!!!

this is one of the scorpions we caught when we first moved in. I put it in the jar and left it out in the sun and now it's black.

Sunday Fun Day

so mad it was closed!!! I need a new Skull Valley T-shirt

My dream house.

we were supposed to be going to the Merkin Winery-We went the wrong way, an hour and a half WRONG WAY-oops.

so we ended up at this old Brothel/Bar/Restaurant. It's the COOLEST bar ever. For sale for 4 million -10 acres. You can rent a room for $25-it sleeps about 10 maybe? They also have a room that is decorated the same way it was back when it was a brothel, this one will cost ya a little bit more.

"KIRKLAND, 4 m. (4,000 alt., 50 pop.), a small trading center in a cattle and mining area. Its general merchandise store, garage, and service station are built with the false fronts typical of small western settlements. William H. Kirkland, for whom the town was named, arrived in Arizona in 1856 and was married in Tucson in May 1860. This is described as the first marriage in Arizona of a pioneer white couple. Kirkland was one of the earliest stage stations and according to an old record the meals served "for those times and circumstances were epicurean feasts." On this road is SKULL VALLEY, 11 m. (4,112 alt, 75 pop.), a settlement serving a ranching and mining district. In 1864 soldiers under Lieutenant Mon- teith fought a party of Mojave and Tonto Apache here and left without burying the Indian dead. Many bones and skulls were found bleaching along the valley by emigrants traversing the route. Later Major Willis sent a scouting party ta bury the bones and skulls "lying round everywhere," and named the site Skull Valley. "

I like this old sink.

do you see the face in the wood?

one of the owners-so cute

this is the hallway of rooms you can rent.

this is the room that's decorated exactly like it was in the old days. I think it's $50 to rent a night? I forget.

the sole of my boots fell off! the rubber bands worked for a few hours
