It's like a second life for so many of us. I've learned so much... like a trail is not necessarily a trodden path but a place to be explored and enjoyed, good and bad.
I've met new people, seen incredible photography, hiked vicariously through others trip logs/photos to places I'll never see,
so hard I forgot what I was doing and so much more.
Joe. You just can't imagine how much we all appreciate the enormous amount of your life you have put into making this a site many of us have to visit several times a day.
but every now and again it is good and proper to thank Joe for providing us with such a great place to come together for the exchange of knowledge, information, ideas, experiences and everything else related to hiking Arizona (and beyond). Just go to google and search "California hiking" or "Utah hiking". None of our neighbors have anything that compares to the wealth of knowledge found on our beloved HAZ. I feel fortunate that I don't have to settle for 
summit post to get my fix. summit post is nice and all, but it's just so focused on the incredibly advanced. Sometimes you have two hours at your disposal with people that want minimal effort in their nature experience and POOF...HAZ provides the quick, necessary info to make the most of your trip. There's plenty of variety for my hiking needs, and I sure appreciate that!
) may argue amongst ourselves and we may complain from time to time, but imagine how we'd holler if this site disappeared!
