Happy Happy Hoppy!

Or, at that point, just in some "agreed uponed" direction!

No matter who brings it, they'll probably have to backtrack at least half the distance from picking up the last one to procure another one!

Sounds like the new "Haz Sugar Daddy" line dance! :rollH:

Well, I just woke up about a half hour ago so I should probably get the award for waking up the latest! Been running on about 4 hours sleep a night for days on end now and that's just not enough ... but it wasn't gonna' keep me away from the big night. 8) Thanks for everything Hoppy! Looks like a go...

Taylor Anne McLain has such subtle class!

Moon glow climbs the dark
Shimmering light far below
Frog king croaks command.

Dog Haiku

Two or three good ones in there.

Those majestic forms,
Red rock in cathedral tones,
Vortices abound.

The Superstitions,
Hoodoos watching ev’ry move;
To return: Respect!

Bonsai shaped by man
Shall never rival God’s Hand:
Grand Canyon gnarled pines. :A2:

Roam Arizona
Found: the middle of nowhere;
Peace, serenity.

Man, that was tough after a five hour migraine! Thanks Olesma for the mental exercise.

Sounds devine!

Great food and company!

It was great to be able to put "real" faces and names with some of the avatars and handles on here.

Yeah. I used to crank that puppy until I almost passed out and begged one of my four brothers or father to take over.

now I gotta go buy ice cream, I can't wait a month for that

And, believe me, her ice cream is much better than anything you can buy in a store. I mostly only like triple chocolate ice cream but the ice cream she makes is just totally awesome with caramel and almonds on top!

Could I recommend bringing homemade vanilla ice cream with caramel topping and almonds?

A few years ago I was at Horseshoe Reservoir (same general area as Bartlett Lake) waiting for my brother and his youngsters to show up. The water was about 30 feet lower than usual and there was a plethora of driftwood ringing the lake. I was wandering along admiring the various wonderful driftwood ...

Have always loved the Superstitions, so anytime you're ready!

But, seriously, anywhere in AZ appeals. Just let us know when and where! We be there.

This may seem like a strange question, but I can think of no better forum than HAZ to ask! Being that a majority of our backpacking experience has been in AZ, UT, and CA, I thought to ask what others that hike in the same general vincinity thought of New Zealand, if indeed anyone has been there?
