Payson AZ

We have arrived in Payson, although at a 5,000 foot elevation it is warm here.. in the 90’s, which for the Sunshine State is cool for this time of year. Many of the people in town seem to be from Tucson and Phoenix. We stop at this coffee house DMI Coffee, and quickly order our favorite iced coffee drink Mocha Peanut Butter. When we travel we find off beat coffee houses and compare Mocha Peanut Butter iced coffees, this one is good, but still not beating the Rhino’s Coffee house’s.

So sitting down to drink my MPB, I read this article, really bears in the desert. I cant imagine bears here, where to they hide in the cactus? The terrain here is scrub oak and cactus, sometimes mixed in you will find a cottonwood tree. I am going bear seeking tonight, wearing my snake boots.

So true to form, I just know that every room in the city cant be booked, right? So last room at of course the last choice hotel… oh well, who wants to spend time in the hotel anyway.. not me. I have bears to find.
