Angel Wings

I rode shotgun with Clay and the Jeep group up to an old asbestos mine in the mountains north of Globe, Arizona that from a distance looks like angel wings...

The last couple of miles of the trail is a rugged, rocky section that requires a high clearance, four-wheel drive vehicle with lockers and ideally some armor as you will do some "rock polishing" along the way...

There were also some serious off-camber spots that created a bit of a "pucker factor"...

Here's the view from the mine...

Lastly, this old mining equipment has become the victim of a lot of target practice...

Tree House

I joined the park's Jeep group for a ride to an old miner's cabin where the tin roof was built around a tree. Hence the name "tree house"...

Most of the trail was rocky shelf roads with panoramic views of the mountains...

Once again, my old body does not tolerate rough terrain as it once did. It is going to be a two Ibuprofen night!

Update (11/25/2023): I just discovered the ability to capture screenshots from my Garmin Tread Overlander. Here's a graphical image of the ride...

Electric Vehicle Problems

In my opinion, this is a great analysis of the problems associated with electric vehicles (EVs)...

Sad News From Minnesota

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes to the belly. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin with the gravesite piled high with many flours.

Numerous celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, Betty Crocker, the California Raisins, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.

Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.

Born in 1965 and bread in Minnesota, Poppin’ Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was never considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half baked schemes.

A little flaky, he was known as crusty man, but still considered a positive “roll” model to millions.

Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough; three children – John Dough, Jane Dough, and Dosey Dough…plus, they had a bun in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly uncle, Pop-Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 15 minutes.

If you enjoyed reading this, rise to the occasion and share it with a friend who’s having a crumb-y day and kneading a lift.
