Here’s another one for the bucket list.
I spent this past weekend hiking to a portion of Fossil Creek: Along Bob Bear Trail to Fossil Springs to see the old Fossil Creek dam (and Toilet Bowl), float through some pretty strong creek currents and check out an electric glowing blue cave.
It was a sweaty hike back up out of the falls, but absolutely worth it!

While wedding planning (!!!) has started to creep into my free time a bit, I did find some time this month to do a bit of reading.
I meannnn… who saw this coming?
A fuulllll disclaimer – I probably won’t buy many — if any — of the things linked below.
I’m very much on a no-buy/low-buy streak right now. Given the current economic recession, the plunging of my retirement accounts, the incoming tariffs, the insecurity and instability of my employment as a federal employee, and some big life events coming up… the thought of spending money on stuff seems kind of senseless.
Some big day job-related news!
I recently opened my Complex-level Public Information Officer (PIO / PIOC) task book, which brings me one step closer to working as a lead PIO role on big, complex wildfires (and other incidents) across the country.
What, more packing content?!

Well, most of March was pretty well documented over here.
Sometimes I forget I live in the southwest.
I mean, Flagstaff – with its snow-capped mountain peaks, towering Ponderosa pine trees and rolling meadows — is definitely not the first thing that comes to mind when someone says “southwest.”
But you know what probably is the first thing that comes to mind when someone says “southwest?”
Monument Valley.
I mean… it’s literally this (
) emoji.
