I agree gut feeling is usually the best to go by. Better safe than sorry. Also if you are planning on doing things solo you might want to look into at least getting a can of mace, or a civilian taser. Mace is good for humans, great for dogs. Taser can be used on humans and dogs, thought its a one sh...

Dam. I figured they were. For someone I have never meet or heard of I am quit interested in this story. Again sorry for everyone's loss. If I ever get up that way I will do my part.

I did not know GPSJoe, as I am a new member here. Just wanted to stop by and tell everyone sorry for your loss. Also a quick question did the SAR team use a tracking dog at all? I know it has been a while, just wondering if anyone remembers.

The idea of planting the trees is nice, too, although I am not sure how one goes about it. The soil is so tough, I would have a hard time digging the hole myself. So, I am very unimpressed with the police. Hope they can keep the looters at bay. Sadly I am guessing there is a bit of lack of communic...

@K9Shep Watching your interview on 3TV right now. Great spot, keep up the good work! I know people appreciate your efforts! Beautiful pooch too! Thank you very much. I am back at work tonight wanted to give everyone a little update on the trip. I met a lot of good people. The Red Cross is doing a g...

Thank you for the kind comment PageRob.

Wanted to link this map before I left for work. Nothing we have not seen.

Well if there are any feed stores open I will see what I can do. From what I have read on news websites and what not there is about 60-100 people at Blue Ridge. Perfect start, maybe while there I can get in touch with someone who will set me up with something in Springerville or somewhere where I ca...

I currently have a Therapy Dog International certified dog. I want to head up there to help provide some sort of help to the people staying at Blue Ridge. My wife is from Show Low and most of her family still lives there. I feel a strong connection to the community even though I am not directly from...

I know why! I can just imagine having my belly full of biscuits and gravy from there before hitting the trail! Yum Yum.

Wow this is perfect, just what I was looking for. I am loving this hiking stuff. Can't believe I didn't do more of it before. But then again in only 24 and yes . . . video games use to be more fun. I plan on doing this one in about two weeks with the wife. Right now with any luck I will be heading u...

Thanks for the help everyone. te-wa would that hike be ok for a dog to go on? Thanks again everyone!

Wife was born and raised in Show Low so we go there 4-6 times a year to visit her folks. La Casita is what some of you might be thinking of. This place rocks! Salsa is homemade so the consistency can change from think and chunky to watery, same goes for the spiciness of it. But their food rocks! LA ...
