Yup. 1966 Dodge Polara wagon.

We've had a couple of white cars over the years, but they're not my favorite. The do make since here in Arizona, as they do stay a little cooler than darker cars.

But it's a dry heat...

Soon...

I wish...

When I play it? Horrible. In the hand of someone who can actually play, it will sound amazing. I was surprised by the volume. Being a short scale and only 4 strings, the sound is not a full as one of my dreadnaughts, but it has a clean, warm tone.

Couldn't find the right size bridge, so I had to make one. It's made from black walnut my great uncle cut over 50 years ago.

Restoring a 1956 Harmony archtop tenor guitar I bought in pieces for 10 bucks. Here's what I started with: Here's how it looks now.:

I'm the one on the left...

Jessie thinks I need help making the bed in the RV.

Oh yeah, we totally need to get together and get some of this down on paper. I could see an Emmy winning soap opera coming out of this. "As the Lathe Turns"

From a couple of weeks ago down at Picacho Peak campground. We just missed the bloom.

Was that at Hermit's Rest? It really is the best place to see sunsets from the South Rim. When I too the Parr8head clan there was snow, so the views were even more beautiful.

No matter where you end up in the park, the views are amazing. The South Rim is the most popular, but also the most crowded. The North Rim is a longer drive, so less people overall. If there's no space available in the campgrounds at the north rim, try Jacob Lake area. You could also look to Fredonia or Kanab and daytrip to the North Rim. My personal favorite place is Toroweep Point, but it's about 70 miles of dirt road out in the middle of nowhere. Very few people so there's always space, but you need the right vehicle to make it out there and I wouldn't even think about towing a trailer. More of an overlander experience.

We'll stick closer to home. This is only about a 30 foot drop.
