Dreamy Draw photos

 

I took the long way home this morning detouring down to the Dreamy Draw to check out progress, and take some photos. As always, click the photo to embiggen.

First, we have a beautiful yard on N. 26th St., I hope the desert looks half this good this spring. 

Next is two pics from the North side of the 51, where the bore pit is waiting for another shaft extention- which looks like all 15,000 lbs. of it just arrived.

Last, we have the South side, same deal, the bore pit also waiting for more shaft extensions. This sits directly in the middle of the old bike path, and judging from the grading going on to the left in the photo, I imagine the path will go around this. 

And yes, in case you are wondering, I am obsessed with this. The first Sunday its open, don't be surprised if I make you ride up and down it three times. 

February 12 - Scramble

 

The 4's will be riding west to Mi Pueblo at Metrocenter this Super Sunday, and I suspect everywhere will be busy nonstop all this weekend with all the visitors here. So the 3's will be going to stop at the Scramble at the Biltmore, as I have never seen it crowded, ever. 

The weather promises to be beautiful this weekend, thus encouraging more of the above-mentioned visitors to soon become residents. 

This is from a Carpenters tribute compilation CD, featuring a lot of good artists. Rock on...

February 5 - Kiss The Cook

 

Richard and the 4's are journeying to Oink this Sunday, and the 3's will be heading west to Kiss The Cook in Glendale. Right now, it looks like it will be significantly warmer than last week, so that's gonna be a welcome change. 

I got to see 10,000 Maniacs (yes, all 10,000 of them!) open for R.E.M. years and years ago. Natalie Merchant has a charming voice. Rock on...

January 29 - Snooze, an A.M. Eatery

 

Richard and the 4's are ambling off to Glendale for a visit to The Cracked Egg, while Mike and the 3's will be stopping by Snooze at the Town & Country shopping center. Have I put together a route yet? No, no I have not, work has been busy this week. But by Sunday I should have something figured out. 

Rock on...

January 22 - Scott's Generations redux

 

This week, Richard, Steve and the gang of 4's will be heading to Moon Valley Cafe, while the 3's will attempt to make good on last week's promise of Scott's Generations. Hope to see you all at Granada, dress warmly- right now, it looks like a low of 36 degrees come Sunday morning, but at least the rain is gone for a little while, and we should see the sun!

Rock on...

January 15 - Scott's Generations

 

Richard, Steve and the 4's are riding to Mi Pueblo in the Metrocenter area, and the 3's will be stopping by Scott's Generations- been a long time since we've been there. 

Of course, we may not get there. Yet another wave of the Pineapple Express is set to hit here Sunday. The forecasts I've seen suggest it might peter out on us and go north. So, if its raining, or looks like it on the radar (you should have the app MyRadar, you really should), the trip down Cave Creek is too scary in the dark with any amount of rain. 

I'm running out of rain songs, but I like this one. Rock on...

 

January 9 - Wildflower redux

 

Steve will be leading the 4's to The Henry this Sunday, while the 3's will make good on last weeks schedule and visit Wildflower Bread in Scottsdale. It looks like it will be a nice weekend. 

Here's a great cover of a great 70's song. Rock on...
