A few days ago a huge thunderstorm passed through. The large Bottle Tree right behind our condo was knocked down by it. The tree was about 50' tall and will be missed.

Prescott
On our last couple of trips to Prescott we rode our Brompton on the Peavine/Iron King trails. They're both old railroad grades that were converted to trails. The Bromptons handled the dirt trails very well.

Ross's Brompton just off the Peavine Trail. This is a staged picture - no riding the Brompton on the rocks!
Water Sports
We recently tired stand-up paddle boarding on Tempe Town Lake. They rent the boards and other watercraft there. It was actually pretty easy and we had a good time!
Our Oru kayaks on the beach at Saguaro Lake.
Both of us in our Oru kayaks at the Butcher Jones beach area on Saguaro Lake. A nice lady on shore used Ross's iPhone to take this picture.
Reno/Sacramento/Lake Tahoe Trip 2
In Sacramento there's a bike path that runs over 30 miles along the American River. We spent 2 days riding most of the path in both directions. This picture was taken just off the path along the river.
The American River is a popular for rafting/tubing.
Our assembled Oru kayaks on the beach at Lake Tahoe.

Reno/Sacramento/Lake Tahoe Trip 1
In July we took a 1 1/2 week trip to Reno, Sacramento and Lake Tahoe.
Cool thunderstorm we saw between Las Vegas and Reno.
