Places




Places.
 Place. 
   Placed.







Places are best defined by the places nearby.


Our place, in a wild corner of the desert southwest, is more a conglomeration of all the places that we visit throughout our local adventures.









Oracle is a quiet cluster of homes nestled in a high oak-laden canyon at the foot of a mighty granite ridge. Oracle, to us, is also Cochise Stronghold, The Homestead, Peppersauce Canyon, Mt. Lemmon, the Ironwood Desert and all the other places that are just a days drive away.





Our place is a wild collection of towering granite walls, endless catus gardens, limitless sunsets, mystical native forests, remote crags, and desert vistas. Its just a small slice of a very big space . With each adventure we cut off a bigger slice of our place – and in this place its hard not to have another spoonful.











We've placed ourselves in this desert.
