I pulled off here for a stop this is Arizona this is Arizona guys this is incredible this
this is the Arizona that I love and oh my gosh oh we can go down there let's hope there's
water water in Arizona I'm gonna go check it out first on foot and then I'm gonna let
TIG out to come check it out because he might not be very dog friendly down here but uh
I do want to go at least check it out here oh yeah this is really pretty wow if I didn't
tell you it was Arizona would you think I'm back home in Washington State my goodness
yeah let's go get Tig [Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
gy Tiggy you wanna go on a trail walk to the water you want to go find some water you're
gonna go pee first come here Jake good boy well he's not shy about going down the steps
that's for sure good boy Tig fantastic I'm gonna have me a walking dog I'm only wearing
sandals because of where we're gonna be at later I probably should have thrown some tennis
shoes for this little Trail walk good hiker good boy all right you can do it very good
very good boy what a good boy tiggs first water attempt that's the water right there
look how close he is what do you guys think you think we got a water dog maybe I should
get in here the water is actually really nice TIG do you want to try water I really want
you to be a water puppy come here Jake come on you can do it just come get your paws wet
you're so close your inches away there you go ah almost he might take some coaxing this
is insanely ridiculous y'all and it's gonna get much much better but man I am definitely
going to be taking Black Betty out here this summer for sure gorgeous gorgeous Arizona
crystal clear water man I do have to be patient with TIG because I do not want him to have
a bad feeling about water you know so I'm not going to force him or anything today but
eventually eventually I am going to force him I'm just gonna throw him in the water
I'm just gonna throw you in one day TIG I'm gonna not today [Music]
[Music]
[Music] all right so again my generator it might fire up now but it won't stay running
it's it's definitely got a problem and not something I can really have a lot of faith
in but with my batteries at 100 and getting solar up there I'm running my AC right now
which I can get about five or six hours and uh so I'm gonna come back every hour and check
on the kitties and Tig and let TIG out to walk and I'll make it up to him later we'll
find a spot where dogs are are allowed but here in the RV I got the main curtain here
closed and I'm also going to close the back curtain back there to keep the AC centralized
in this location for the pets put some sunscreen on maybe grab a cooler and we're gonna head
on down let me show you where we're parked so uh Dana Steve hope and the kids we grabbed
the first two RV sites right here not very level but I think the fridge is gonna work
hey guys so uh we'll we'll have our pets here and we'll be checking back every hour and
look at this rock face guys Sedona is beautiful I'm in love with this area and then we got
a little walk to go to the recreation places over there so um yeah go get my swimming trunks
on and some sunscreen all right we're on the trail to the water we got the pendley homestead
House of 1927.
they got a bunch of apple trees here also here we have an apple Packing Shed of 1932.
and then off to our right here should be the entrance of the swim area and see somebody
brought their puppies up here to the top but I think this is as far as they can go for
the dogs let me read the rules here pets prohibited in this area right here yeah so this is there
you go unfortunately no doggies in this area but maybe we'll stop back at that other spot
on the way back all right let's see how busy this place is at 8 30 in the morning on a
90 degree summer day there's not too many people here but look at this wow and again
water looks crystal clear so we should have some sliding places and some pooling areas
oh my gosh look at this water guys so many people out here enjoying it people are jumping
off the cliff right there we're gonna go down a little bit farther and try to find some
shade all right we made it
Ethan fell but we're all okay we're gonna we're gonna can't make this our base spot
here in the shade we're gonna get a couple hours today because the sun will come up like
that but there's there's big pools that you can soak in these
oh we're good awesome this right here is I guess the unofficial start of sliding down
the Rocks all the way through there we'll wait till somebody does it here you just slide
right down looks like fun right
I want to try it all right we're next here try not to slip Eric all right here we go
oh
one more bump yeah well that was fun that was totally worth it we do a lot of those
today all right well that slide is really cool but I want to go over here I think there's
another slide it just keeps going up I just want to see what's up here yeah there's another
little little slide right there for beginners I just love the rock formations around this
park it's so pretty did I mention it's not wheelchair accessible not it is definitely
not wheelchair accessible and there's signs everywhere reminding you that there's no lifeguard
you walk and swim at your own risk I already hurt my big toe another little mini slide
right here look at that rock it's just sitting there she's just sitting I wonder if it fell
and then like landed right there like it may have fell off one of those Cliffs and just
landed right there it's crazy and did I mention that any rock that has water on it is extremely
slippery take your time Crossing
cross the river here because I want to get on the other side of this because I see something
I see something that might be very very old it's like the remnants of a very very early
building Maybe an hourly it's got wood and Concrete it may have been one of the original
restrooms here of the national park I mean State State Park see this could have been
a toilet or something I don't know I'm not sure what do you guys think of Slide Rock
State Park pretty amazing way to go Arizona nicely done I mentioned that there's no camping
here at this particular Park but there are three I think National Park campgrounds on
the way all three of them completely booked on the way up here not even one night but
they are reservable so I wanted to come back take the maybe take the RV with the motorcycle
I could take all those little routes and routes that swing around on the Harley spend a couple
days up here I might do that all right went back to the rig checked on TIG took him out
he peed and pooped he's doing well the AC is still on with 60 Battery and uh went and
got the Bucky's Inflatables Dana's on the other one that I have nobody else is using
inner tubes out here but I think it'll work
oh yeah yeah we're roughing it it's comfy good times good times in Arizona oh and I
went back to get my shoes because I messed up my big toe with the sandal and the slide
over there so I'm wearing an old pair of tennis shoes works all right here we go
all right I hope you didn't have sunglasses on there's your shorts [Music] enjoyed the
AC man yeah we're about to fire up the generator later to make up for that one but it was worth
it right heck yeah man went to go grab my wallet because they got a gift store halfway
down before the part where there's no pets so TIG and I are gonna go to the gift store
see if we can find a magnet actually um I just tested the pavement that we have to take
to get to the souvenir shop and it's too hot my hand can only last three seconds so um
we don't want to hurt your posies no we're gonna go back in the air conditioning and
let Dad go get some ice cream and some magnets okay you be good boy an RV okay buddy I'll
make it up to you we came down 1500 feet and uh Sedona quite a bit warmer than seven thousand
feet all right here's the slide rock Market let's go see what they got all right let's
see this one says Sedona Arizona flimsy though there's another Sedona one I really like these
really flimsy ones but take what I can get uh here's one that says Slide Rock Park with
an alien I don't understand the alien I'll be honest with it oh what's this Sedona or
globe and the bear that says Slide Rock State Park I guess that's my favorite I'd love to
choose oh wait found a couple more I found this one slide rock and it shows the water
and the tree and The Rock and it's a hard magnet that or this one but this one's really
plain and square and ordinary that one says Sedona yeah I think it's got to be this one
yeah like as soon as I got out of the water now I'm warm enough
actually walking back to the store and I noticed this van is still sitting here waiting to
get in that is because the park is at capacity they're only letting one car in as people
leave that's what happens in a busy season one wanted to check out their baseball caps
but they didn't have anything that I absolutely love so oh well at least I got my magnet we're
gonna head back to the RV and possibly see if there's a place we can pick to eat because
we got to go back up through Flagstaff either to I-40 to get back to Camp so go check it
out oh yeah it's been a while by the way they did bring back the self-serve peanuts uh post
covid so you help yourself with peanuts while you're waiting and let's see where the potatoes
from today's potatoes Parker Idaho sna Farms nice well you don't come here for the healthy
part look at how greasy that bag is that's a good sign heck yeah we're eating good let's
check her out here oh yeah and there's still a bunch of fries in there look at that bacon
cheeseburger greasy [Music] ridiculous it was funny Ticky [Music] good bodies good bodies
squat pee poop do your stuff you know go find a good spot good boy what a good boy that's
a good pee been holding that one in I think you can make it another hour home we've got
one more hour to drive it no I'll do it don't worry I'll do all the hard work okay okay
where you going oh
okay
monster how you doing had a new one I had a new one how you doing what are you doing
yeah oh puppy breath coffee breath coffee breath oh my goodness all right guys made
it back to Camp a little late last night already got the propane hooked back up uh to my surprise
uh Homer spread Rock uh underneath where my RV sits and I specifically told him not to
work but uh thank you Homer and thank you Kat for sewing some new patches on my Harley
uh vest there it is kind of good to be back home um we do have to deal with both the generator
so I can get a air conditioning going in the RV as well as that that power issue because
like I said we didn't we didn't fix that uh the new alternator and new battery got me
home yes but um actually I noticed something on the way back I opened up my victron or
Orion app which which is the DC to DC converter underneath that compartment which is directly
tied into the alternator of my RV and this is what it says it's on because it wouldn't
even show up unless the engine's running but as you can see it actually says not on because
the engine is shut off while I was driving down the interstate and I'm like no the engine's
still running um so I definitely have a feeling that that component has something also to
do with the fact that the battery system and the weird change in voltage going on with
the RV so we gotta gotta figure that out um but I tell you what it is uh just nice to
be back home back with tater tot and Black Betty my Harley over there and uh and yeah
so anyway um what's next I'll let you know when we get there you guys have a good one
thanks for joining me at the uh Slide Rock bye-bye [Music]
