The beauty of Halloween in Arizona is the weather. Every year we sit out in front of our home, order pizza and give out candy. Sometimes, we need a light jacket.

It's almost time

The Phoenix 10k

It used to be called the New Times 5 & 10k. Now, it's back in downtown Phoenix and you can run it on November 9th. This is a picture from the 2006 race in downtown Tempe. I ran the 5k, I think it was the third race I ever ran. This year, I plan to run the 5k and then the 10k. I'll get about a 10 minute break between races.

Apache Trail

Looking for a scenic drive around Phoenix? Do the Apache Trail. It's a long winding road, some asphalt, some dirt along the lakes to the east of Phoenix. At the halfway point is the village (?) of Tortilla Flat, pictured below. The best place to get a burger during your drive. OK, it's the only place. Don't forget to put a dollar on the wall.

Mogollon Rim

The northern half of Arizona is separated by the Mogollon Rim. Here's a view looking south.
