Good thing for traffic cameras... "Utah's Department of Public Safety said that investigators used license plate cameras and other tools to track Miller through southern Utah, into Northern Arizona and eventually into Colorado in one of the victim's vehicles. Colorado law enforcement found it a...

@markthurman53 Search Google: "Business that resoles hiking boots in Tucson AZ" It came up with four in Tucson area, and of course I have no idea how good any are. The search also alluded to some brands (Red Wing being one) where you can send your boots to get resoled. Far in the past I h...

@ShatteredArm Depending on what app or mapping used, common sense has nothing to do with it. I doubt faster wasn't the key here, but simply distance. Example: While I know how to get to Queen Valley, I only had so much gas in the car and wanted to see if I could stretch it out and back so I had Goo...

If the driver was following Google Maps directions (or similar app) it's seems possible the US 60 closures may have been the technology culprit... and the driver adding his 2-cents worth of brain was the human culprit. It still blows me away how many people use driving/mapping apps for short trips t...

For the most thorough analysis of the crash I've seen to date, check out the video posted today (Jan 21) on the "Taking Off" YouTube channel. It not only includes a photo of the actual slack line on the day of the crash, but statements by actual witnesses to the crash as well, which was qu...

@te_wa Not that much on Bush Lite/Hawes trails... I can do without all the traffic, 95% of my riding is on the opposite side of Bush Highway. My travels range from the West end of the Salt Interpretive Trail (from Phon D Sutton), sometimes passing the Goldfield Rec Site (tubing take-out) and contin...

The bike has been donated to Sunshine Acres.

I no longer have the patience to deal with all the, where can I see it? can I test ride it? will you accept $xxx? Do you use Venmo? etc.. So here goes... $200 CASH If you're willing to bring ten $20 bills , PM me to set up day/time to pick it up. (I live in East Mesa near Recker & Brown) Should ...

After recognizing just about every land feature shown in the Channel 12 video I realized we had hiked in that area in December 2023 and in fact had several photos of the same peaks pointed out in the video. After digging through my archives, we actually hiked up to the summit of one of the peaks the...

There were no NOTAMs for the area around the airport they took off from in Queen Creek, so there was nothing to be made aware of. However, the only NOTAM which DID relate to the slack-line was issued for Superior Municipal Airport. While Telegraph Canyon is NEAR the Superior airport, since quite lik...

This is the most informative video of the tragedy without being overly dramatic... basically "just the facts" as they are known at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kMKAO_CLVQ Sadly, the pilot was going to be married after returning from this sightseeing flight through Telegraph C...

2016 Giant Trance 2 S.jpeg I have purchased two new mountain bikes since 2020, which is when I last rode this bike. So... cleaning out the shed pushed me to FINALLY make the decision to sell it. Giant Trance 27.5 2 Bike - Size S My Original Cost (2016) = $2,700 Last ridden in 2020 with a total of ~...

If ANY type of footgear comes with insoles , wouldn't that lead one to believe that they were DESIGNED for insoles? That said, not all insoles work well with all types of feet. So, in my experience, if I'm not comfortable on the first hike or two, I remove the insoles and replace them with PowerStep...

@chumley Over the last few years while scrolling around on various maps (HAZ Satellite View, Google Maps, etc.) I've noticed quite a few locations/features that either had no prior name or had a different name, some seemingly added willy-nilly. I guess it's a result of allowing anyone to add a name...

@chumley
Could this be where you found a Danau Knoll reference?

@RedRoxx44
For years I used the National Geographic TOPO program for locations of old mines and ruin sites. Unfortunately, now without a working Windows PC I miss it... Nat Geo that is, not the Win PC.

Whatever happens, from personal observation, based on how denuded the areas between the Salt River and Bush Highway have become there are far too many horses for the available natural resources ... because they simply could not survive on what little vegetation is there So, how DO they survive? Firs...

Agreed... and the same goes for 'three people on fire'.

My one and only visit was last September... glad I got to see it at least once.
