We lost our beloved cat of 15 years today. Her name is Traxx. We would greatly appreciate it if you would burn a candle and wish her well on her journey. Thank you and God Bless.

Colin, Check out FS143 off the Beeline Highway, the Four Peaks road. As you you are drivivg after about three miles keep your eye out for any area that might be used as a 'camping spot'. There a four or five of them both on the left of the road and the right. It will break your heart. Everything fro...

Hi! Hope everyone is doing well. I was wandering if anyone might be able to tell me how to distingish a Mojave Rattlesnake (Neurotoxic) from any other breed of Rattler (hemotoxic)? Seems like that would be good info for anyone that spends time in the outdoors. Thanks!

I do not worry about the gun toting, scruffy types. Only if they have a campfire. :twisted: Just kidding, a little light hearted humor! :P

Gosh Mary,

I am not a troll. How could you say that about someone you do not know? If I did anything wrong it was to express my concern. Oh yeah, I also asked that you be nice. The same kindess I am willing to give to you.

Man, what a rough crowd. I am not an extremest, just try to be aware. Most of my time is spent in the Four peaks and Superstion area. I am only speaking on what I have noticed. I tried to express my opinion gracefully. That is not to be confused with me having a closed mind or not being willing to l...

Do not wish to be the turd in the punchbowl, but... It is my belief that campfires should only be made in the backcountry in an emergency. Our backcountry is already far to scarred by campfire rings ect. Campfires do not have to be synonymous with backpacking. There is alot to said for meeting the l...

[/size Snick, Just a quick post to let you know that while I have never met you, you have enriched my life by sharing with me/us the beauty you have found in life. When I go into the wilderness I will be able to smile not only for my experience but what you and others have found as well. Thanks for...

Hi! How is everyone doing? We are planning a trip to either the Black River or KP Creek for Fourth of July, Thursday through Sat 6th or Sun 7th. A bit far, maybe five or six hours away, but a couple of gems nonetheless. They are both open and there is WATER! Lots of it! It will definitely provide th...

There are still tons of places open. You might just have to up the mileage a bit. Ever been to upper Sycamore Canyon? You know, the one with all the springs. How about North Canyon? Little perennial stream, fabulous scenery. We drove to the Black River last weekend, a bit far for an overnight, but t...

A couple of quick suggestions... Weminuche Wilderness in the San Juan Mountains. Approx. 30 miles North of Durango. Just Fabulous. Chicago Basin make for a fine overnight trip. Tons of water and an opportunity to ride an old coal fire engine train to the trailhead. Ice Lake Basin with its spectacula...

One of the coolest wildlife encounters that we have the pleasure to witness were three squirrels and a quail in the Blue Range along the Juan Miller Road. We couldn't believe it! They were all playing a follow the leader game. The first squirrel would run around the tree and jump up on the rock, tha...

Hi! They call me snake magnet. That is because wherever I go I encounter rattlesnakes. I have been hiking in Az for about 10 years. It was about four years ago that I became the snake magnet. I thought I was all tough and headed to Hot Springs Canyon for a three day solo. I arrived at the trailhead...
