We then kayaked Lake Powell the next day in late May/early June last year and the weather was warm but very tolerable. We camped at the Lees Ferry Campground on the trip and ...

Tittybars are plentiful in Phoenix and there are a couple in Scottsdale south of Old Town. You have tons of food options in Scottsdale, including a lot of Tex-Mex style places. If you want authentic my favorite is Los Dos Molinos in south Phoenix. Lupe's in Old Town is very popular but I wouldn...

The Scottsdale housing market is still hot despite interest rates. I purchased my home in 2005 and going by comps in my neighborhood it has more than doubled what I paid for it and has increased in value by $400-500K in the past five years alone. The catch is if I sell I will overpay wherever I de...

The Brigantine overlooking the racetrack has some of the best fish tacos anywhere and there is some shopping, cool beach bars and breakfast places in both towns if that's your thing. Huge fan of P...
