So back in the day there was this little paper doll type guy lovingly known as "Flat Stanley"
When we went to Disneyland an took our photo with Mickey Mouse, Flat Stanley was in the picture
When we visited Meteor Crater, Flat Stanley made an appearance in the photo album
When the world's biggest ball of yarn was our last pit stop...there was Flat Stanley in the photos...

But, alas, Flat Stanley is no more in my life...he has been replaced by my own energetic desires.

Cartwheels. On the rim of The Grand Canyon. Beside one of Lee's Ferry's famous Balanced Rocks. In the waves of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. At the foot of the waterfalls made famous near the native village of Supai...

Cartwheels Across America has become my new Flat Stanley.


So my question to you all, if you had a Flat Stanley, or could execute a cartwheel, where in Arizona would you have that photo taken? Over 40 cartwheels have already been photographed across America by yours truly, including Weaver's Needle and Supai, The South Rim, The Balanced Rocks, Kartchner Caverns, Picacho Peak...two different sections of The Colorado River...

But my friends, where would be a truly wonderful place? Where would you send me and my Flat Stanley? Send me to the farthest reaches of our beloved state, send me on a 6 day backpacking trip simply to obtain this cartwheel in the picturesque, remote and desirable location!

Where would you send me next?

Aylor's Arch. How's your balance beam routine?

@Outdoor Lover oh goodness...

Supai is cool,Mountains in Flag are cool, Salt trail is cooler, but so far Cheops Plateau is my favorite place in all of AZ....the only problem is getting up to the top ;) . Once on top.... Cartwheels would be easy and pics would be amazing.

@HippyHaley
The Supes....

@rlrjamy Supai, done. Doing Humphrey's Peak end of this month. Cheops Plataeu? Sounds exciting.

@Outdoor Lover I should've known that! I'll add it to the list!!

When I was 26 (you know, back PC "pre-computers" or "previous century") I was able to do cartwheels, aerials, back walkovers etc etc. All I could possibly muster up now is side wheel. Heck, I throw a "Wendy" and hurt myself! ;) Just toting "peeps" has become my flat stanley.

Love the idea though HippyHaley!!! Keep on keepin' on while you can~~~~~~

@Trishness
So where were the Peeps on your trip to Utah??????

I gotta tell you, the ghost peeps melted on a hike I did in November and became deformed~~~~

And the snowman peeps looked like "dirty March snow" so I threw them out. I ate the Easter Peeps!!!!!

@Trishness peeps?!?! I don't think I could handle peeps on a trip...they would fall out mid-cartwheel and if my arms collasped I would end up with peep on my face...
