Walking 3,098.69 miles in 2 years rewarded me a friendly wave of the tail that was no bull & indifference from sheep yet the legs of a 6 foot 202 pound Weasel brought a smile to the face of a donkey in Tanque Verde…

Yesterday a Broad-billed Hummingbird fluffed its feathers after defending its Quitobaquito Pomegranate Tree perch & this morning he was fluffy again to insulate from the cold air as it’s snowing on Babad Do’ag!

The Sonoran Desert like life can be brutally harsh yet connecting with creatures, land, & people where you live is healing.

I hope you encounter people & places like I have where you may...

Calm your emotions.
Declutter your mind.
Heal your body.
Rejuvenate your spirit.

Wolves of the Sky aren’t concerned with a 6 foot 202 pound Weasel yet their famous screeches echo throughout Bear Canyon whenever Coyotes are in sight!

The only thing cooler than a 50 degree Sonoran Desert morning moon over the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tucson Pascua Yaqui Clubhouse is being with the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona Community!

The highest rate of military service per capita of any ethnic group in the USA are the people who colonizers tried to destroy!

I’m grateful they’re still here as my connection to the Sonoran Desert wouldn’t be possible without the beauty of their cultures, friendship, languages, & wisdom.

A Hummingbird perched on our Quitobaquito Pomegranate Tree brightened my day while the Beaver Supermoon illuminated the night!

Before experiencing the fury & aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992 I lived in Cristiana where the Eye of Hurricane Melissa is heading!

I’m praying for y’all 2,340 miles northwest in the Sonoran Desert.

Babad Do’ag is a Sky Island that rises out of the Sonoran Desert Sea & an enjoyable afternoon walk yesterday became unforgettable because it’s the 1st time I’ve seen cows glow!

During summer of 1993 the Grand Canyon inspired me to walk 15.51–21.12 miles from the campground to the Colorado River & back!

Yesterday Babad Do’ag, Baboquivari Peak, & the Sonoran Desert surrounding sacred O’odham Village S-cuk Ṣon inspired me to walk 15.35 miles!

The Cycling Javelina on the Loop in Pantano River Park south of Sabino Canyon Road enjoys a view of Babad Do’ag & reminds me of an extraordinary experience on the other side of the Wash walking for 1.11 miles alongside 3 coyotes searching for, finding, & enjoying breakfast!

The Global Justice Center in S-cuk Ṣon is where my water bottle & shirt will display visual clues that the presence of the Tohono O'odham Nation & the Pascua Yaqui Tribe of Arizona are priceless gifts in my life as their friendship, laughter, & wisdom are Sonoran Desert treasures!

Maybe on ice skates they have a chance BUT in the Sonoran Desert I’ve seen roadrunners run 25 mph YET this week a coyote sprinted past me in a wash at 40+ mph!

I can see the lights of the “Purple Reign” Stadium 5 miles southwest on my Sonoran Desert balcony garden but Thursday night JV Football in the foothills of Babad Do’ag is spectacular as the Sabino Sabercats host the Sahuaro Cougars!
❤️🌵🏈
It’s going to be a cat fight!
