Lake Lyman, Arizona



Me and Dennis in the kayaks! One of the greatest things about being on the road is that you can pick any road you want to be on. When I last "blogged" I said we were going to Lake Powell, Utah. We decided instead to head south on into Arizona to a small lake (by Lake Sinclair standards) that we visited three years ago. It is a great little lake and we enjoyed a full day of kayaking yesterday. Around the shores, across the lake. It was really great and we love our kayaks!!! Dennis of course spotted a snake swimming in the water, waited until it hit land, jumped out of his kayak and nabbed it....really folks, it was amazing!!! That man can move when he wants to. Last night I think hurricane whatever blew in....our tent was laying on top of us and of course, it rained. This morning still VERY windy so we drove the 50 or so miles up the road to the Petrified Forest. Spent all day battling the wind but enjoyed the day picking around the petrified trees. It is a cool place. Dennis and I both agree.....our motto is SEE AMERICA! There is a lot of cool stuff out there!!! Tomorrow, we are again..on the road. We are making our way slowly east now.....over to Roswell NM, Bottomless Lakes. Hope to spend some more time in the 'yaks.....till then.
Special thanks to P & T, campground hosts here at lake Lyman for access to the internet via thier wireless........PS....if you click on the pics, they come up full page!

  1. I love this blogging stuff........get up every morning anticipating the Parmley's next move. Kind of sad but I am enjoying the trip from the armchair. The pictures are very fun.
