June 29, 2024. I didn't realize it at the time, but my world was about to change bigly. On this day, without knowing what was to come, I took a hike with two of my co-workers, who happen to also be sisters. (Arizona Raft Adventures. They are hiring right now, folks!).

As for my big life change, a family member was injured the day before this happened, and I ended up being the main caregiver, which meant I spent the rest of the summer and fall trying to work my job, but having to take lots of time off, and drive halfway across the state about 10 times. I canceled on at least one big trip I had booked and paid for. Luckily was refunded.

But on this day, with my work friends and their very cute dogs, I was innocent and happy, enjoying summer weather as only Flagstaff can (sometimes) provide. The proverbial feces were about to make contact with the spinning appliance, that very night.

It's a fairly popular and easy hike, along the AZT out to the rim view. Gorgeous.

The little dog is Opal, and the big one is Finley, also known as Friendly Finley from Chinle. Like most mutts in Flagstaff, they were born on the Rez and adopted from the shelter.
