About Mabery Aventuras
Living life by a compass, not a clock!
Hello! We are Gayle and Scott Mabery, a pair of retired High School sweethearts from Arizona who enjoy adventuring in the US, Mexico and abroad. We spend most of our days exploring all the diverse corners of Arizona, on the beaches of Puerto Penasco, Sonora, Mexico, and in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. Tide charts and sunsets dictate our time more than calendars and clocks!
