Apache-Sitgreaves and the Mogollon Rim

This past weekend the temperatures in Tucson were set to rise above 100 for the first time this spring (? or is it summer already round these parts?). So, instead of hanging around and dealing with that (we have far too much of that ahead of us), we packed our bags and headed north to much higher elevation and much cooler temperatures.

The weekend began with Friday night in Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest with the most perfect camping spot on the edge of a valley. The next morning we spent some time venturing around the valley and playing some fetch.

We then decided to explore the general area (including the hopping town of Greer, AZ) and came across a guard rooster and Benny Creek (which we HAD to explore seeing as Benny Pat...) which then led to more exploration and more fetching.

(I mean..y'all..what a studly pup)

It then started to rain which really causes a damper on the whole exploration thing so we packed up and headed to the Mogollon Rim, which had another lovely camping spot for us.
