This is what you get when you have an Apple smartphone and get up early.
Fortunately, I don't mind living, at least in *some* ways, vicariously.
SHE has the Apple. Mine's a 'droid.
Some have said I'm bragging.
It's true. ; - )

Audrey's Estate
Many (106 !!) photos here (on FLickr).
It's eight acres backed by National Forest. Javelinas and deer roam the wilds. Audrey says there are 500 bears!
The main house is over 3,200 square feet with the guest cottage at 1,200. Both are art installations.
Sculptures in the yard....

Portal, Arizona
The Chiricahuas present a formidable front. When we asked about road conditions through to the National Monument, we were delighted to hear of lions and tigers and bears!! The other two couples took their advice. Hurrayy, Fewer people!
After checking the Friends of the Library book store we headed up the hill to find Audrey's estate.

Capri Truck Camper
It'd been years since I was in Texas. In 2010 I hauled the fambly airlooms to my brother's ranch outside Austin. He claimed they (wife and three children) survive cuz Austin's an enclave surrounded by Texas.
Passing through El Paso it looked the same - an ennui-inducing wasteland of tattoo parlors, nail salons and purveyers of fast-cash. The only fond memory I could dredge, way back in 1968, was of the ten-dollar, three-finger lids.
In Bluff Dale, we enjoyed meeting the folks and hearing how they'd, in the four years since they'd bought the company, brought it up from a production rate of one every three weeks, to three units a week. Orders are now backed up for several months.
On Yer Marks!!!
EEZY - EEZY
Smart-lookin' Ride
From bunk

After installation we vaulted to the saddle an' high-tailed it the way we'd come -- a heretical act justified by the unbelievable condition/fact that every square inch of Texas is privately owned with NO dispersed camping.
