This July I am planning a motorcycle ride from AZ to ND for my Grandmother’s 90th birthday / Family reunion. I’ll be stopping along the way to visit friends and perhaps run with the various hash house harrier groups if I can stop on the days they hash. and a more detailed look: View Driving directions to Phoenix, AZ in a larger map
We’re back into the mid 70s now and it’s perfect for any outdoor activity. Today I decided to get on the road and enjoy the beauty that our Arizona landscape provides. I headed northwest on highway 87 past Fountain Hills toward Payson, but turned south on Bush Highway and past Saguaro Lake, then along the 202 west back into Phoenix. There were so many motorcyclists on the road today and so many people out hiking and biking. Here are some…
Years ago I had switched to Soy milk as an alternative to Cow’s milk, but found that the emulsifier used gave me migraines. Once again I was looking for an alternative and tried Almond milk.
