Dick & Judy Pierce | New Cabin or Abode, Mogollon Rim Country, Arizona Territory
Overgaard is between Show Low and Payson Arizona on route 260.
The town is atop the Mogollon Rim which varies in altitude from about 6000 to 8100 feet. An escarpment made about 85 to 75 millions of years ago, during the Laramide Orogeny, and since has been minding its own business and eroding away. That's what geologic features do!

In the yard at our house in Overgaard you can see the pine, juniper and cedars that make up the landscape. We also have a cactus or two!
We were up at the cabin over the new year with Rachel and her kids and Uncle Jorge came up to play in the snow...
Chris had to work, but spent the weekend with us...
Jorge took this photo, in two days we had near 10" of snow and the kids loved it!
Front porch is covered.
We are building a gate for the opening, it will match the gate out of the dawg run.
Checking the New Dawg Run
Ty and Puddin both like the new dawg run and doggie door out of the house, they can get to the yard and all of the deck, which means they can see all by the northeast side of the house...
Southwest end of house
Sun is setting, new steps and dawg run look good.
West drive entrance
The driveway needs some maunual labor come spring, also needs some edging rocks or timbers or something to dress the edges!
Back of house with deck off the upstairs bedroom.
Need to cross brace the supports as they seem to be wobbly
Puddin in the Dawg run
The fence adds to the look of the house, there is a 2"x4" mesh on the inside of the rail fencing, no dogs out, no coyotes in... we hope!
New Furniture means more testing
I think the first two days she was not alowed on the new furniture, then Judy got tired of yelling at the dawg...
Puddin is loafing...
The dawgs seem to like the place, at least well enough to sleep anywhere they want!
Hunt Unit 3a and lots of wildlife in the area.
These were fresh Elk tracks in our yard the first day we had Jorge at the new house... he found and photographed these tracks...
