Welcome to Arizona

Filed under: RV & Travel & Willett News by Erin on 11/28/2007

November 2007 Mystery Photo Revealed

Filed under: Mystery Photo by Erin on 11/23/2007

A big thank you to everyone who gave it a shot (see original photo). I’ll be honest with you—when I sorted through my photos a few weeks after taking them I didn’t even know for sure what this photo was. My first thought was, “Huh, that’s funny, I don’t remember seeing a bear cub recently.” [...]
