Last weekend, I had the opportunity to volunteer at the 7th Annual Arizona Balloon Classic as part of a balloon crew. I woke up early on Saturday morning, January 27th, drove 15 minutes from my home in southwest Phoenix to Goodyear, Arizona, where this year’s balloon classic was being held at Goodyear Ballpark. I arrived …
Just over two weeks ago, I once again volunteered for Phoenix FanFest. This is the smaller convention associated with Phoenix Comicon, held in the later part of the year. We ran for two days this year, Saturday and Sunday, and wound up at the downtown convention center instead of the football stadium from previous years. …

So as I mentioned yesterday, today being free entry into any National Park day, we decided to visit the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument. It’s located in Flagstaff (just outside of it) and includes …
