The BLM area just north of Phoenix, Arizona we camped on is definitely the greenest desert we've ever seen. Who knew deserts could be so lush! Unfortunately though, all these desert plants means it's a cacti minefield! Cholla cacti are everywhere so - of course - our dog Sweetie stepped in some which led to me getting stuck too as she flailed while I pulled spines out of her paw.
Phoenix, Arizona is surrounded by National Forests and our adventures led us into the region's largest - the Tonto National Forest. Sweetie joins us on the Butcher Jones Trail which promised gorgeous views of Saguaro Lake, Burro Cove, and the Four Peaks. Sadly, this area is also a cacti minefield! Wait...is this trail actually dog friendly?!

Heck yeah it is gorgeous here!

@carlaivey9806 5 лет назад

@@FateUnbound i lived in Yuma for 23 years( where i wentbto college) and taught there. Then lived in Phoenix for 2 years. I think the Saguaro Desert State park is the best. Alot of movies( westerns) and tv shows habe been filmed there. It is protected and very beautiful. At this time of year its pretty nice but towards the end of May I wouldnt recommend it, TOO hot!! You could do Flagstaff area then, REALLY nice there at that time of the year! There are some nice BLM places outside Yuma in the winter and spring. One in particular is by the Imperial Dam near YPG Very lush foliage and nice hiking. My Geology class went there and hiked and it was a hoot!

@RJMeix007 5 лет назад

Enjoyed the video. Sweetie sure was hungry at lunch. She was gobbling that food.🐶🐕

@FateUnbound 5 лет назад

Funny enough, she gobbles all her food no matter what time it is or if she was recently fed. If we feed her she gobbles it. If we feed her again an hour later she'll gobble it.... then promptly throw up haha. She has a very sensitive stomach but she gobbles anyway

@georgevance399 5 лет назад

As far as the scorpions go, we live a block from the desert (North Scottsdale) and get them in our house all summer long. For 18 years running now. So far, haven't been stung though. We have to use a flashlight to use the bathroom at night since that's when they feed. The people I know that have been stung have had one drop onto them from the ceiling, while in bed. That would keep you awake at night for a while after that. BTW, that cut looks good on you Jenni.

about that, while living in the mountains we put a camouflaged tarp over our camping area and we had so many helicopters fly very close to our site many times.

@kevinholland4156 5 лет назад

If you want to keep scorpions away from your camp; soak down some old burlap and place it around your camp well away from were you are. Be carful when retrieving your burlap; use a long pole or long stick. We used this method when we camped at Lake Powell on the beach.

@JJs-ClassC-Adventures 5 лет назад

@brokenarrowfarm2364 5 лет назад

Hi! We currently live down in Tucson. There are wild Mustangs in the area you are in too. Use two sticks to get off the cholla cactus and not get it on you. Tonto Natural Bridge is really cool to see. Down here in Tucson, the Saguaro Nat'l parks are great! You have to see a Crested Saguaro. They are rare and still dont know why the form that way!

@alaskangalb 5 лет назад

Jenni, great new look! I bet the pixie cut is so easy to handle on the road. I couldn't do that with my curls unless I wanted to look like a poodle caught in a rainstorm. Haha. Keep on rocking it. Loved the drone footage at the beginning and I bet the no light pollution out there is so peaceful. Poor Sweetie's paws though; we are thinking of doggie boots before we even leave. I doubt our boys would wear them though.

@pasemanadventures3675 5 лет назад

@alicial6072 5 лет назад

I went through Flagstaff on the way to the grand canyon about 5 years ago it was the middle of May and it snowed about 8 inches the night before, when I was flying into Phoenix I couldn't figure out what all the white was on the ground, it was first time flying out west and I heard there was salt flats and I thought it was that but Nope it was snow. You see I come from the east coast where the elevation is 500 ft above sea level so really never put much thought into the weather change when going up in elevation, never had too.

@UncaDave 5 лет назад

Been busy so trying to catch up on you guys. The new look is very becoming! Sharp! This video was absolute gorgeous. Sold the house back in WV and RVing now back in FL helping friends finish some work on their house. Will head back to WV in summer to the mountains and a trip is planned for VT and NY Adirondacks too. Will slowly catch up on your videos to see all your adventures. Happy camping!

@JJs-ClassC-Adventures 5 лет назад

Haircut is so cute on you. Watch out picking up anything in scorpion country. They will hide almost anywhere. I live in Central Texas, and some years we have huge numbers of scorpions. When I was stung, it made a huge lump and burned and ached for about a week.

Need the taco seasoning from the store to zest up the hamburger after browning and draining. Refried beans. Red onion. Lettuce. Tomato. Shredded cheese. Sour cream. Jalepeno slices, deli or real. Salsa. Excellente!

@GeographicallyFree 5 лет назад

Beautiful! It's been extra rainy this winter and greener than normal in the Phoenix area desert. A fine tooth comb is good for pulling out the cholla. Many hikers around here keep them and/or tweezers in their first aid kits. Thankfully, I've never needed to use one. Ouch!

@SharonCullenArt 5 лет назад

This was beautiful footage. I have never been to Arizona or the desert out west either for that matter. But from what I read on an instagram post, where a youtuber was laying on a blanket with her daughter taking photos and they were advised to be careful this time of year because everything is waking up and the rattlers and scorpions are everywhere. Idk. Just what I read. I just listened to the entire Harry Potter series for the first time on Audible last year, and watched all the movies last fall when they were doing a marathon of all of them on TV. I recorded them all. The books were so much better though. As usual. You guys should get an audible subscription. They are great for traveling. You two can listen to books while you. Are driving together.

Glad you're enjoying our state! We've lived here since 1975 and it's a wonderful state to camp in. You can camp here year-round depending on what elevation you pick. The desert doesn't look this green every year. We had a really wet winter this year. So this is one of our standout Springs. It's much wetter and cooler this year. Unfortunately, June is coming! 😉

@hyker8787 5 лет назад

I love your videos! Just a word of advice, please be careful of bloat (stomach torsion) on Sweetie. Rottweilers are particularly susceptible and it can be caused by letting her drink and/or eat too much before, during or after exertion. It is a medical emergency in dogs. Please Google it and take care of her. I have to say that after watching this last vid, I might just jump in the RV and take a trip to the area of Phoenix. What amazing beauty.
