In response to jw63's reply: When do you plan On doing the flatiron/ridgeline. would that be a weekday hike or weekend. I ben trying to get some friends to do that but it just never works out. Do you ever go up by way of the Syphon (not sure of the spelling) Draw Trail? Just to let you know I have ...

I would like to join the group on the Sunday hike. I am tied up with Scout training until Sat afternoon. I can drive up that evening or early Sunday, depending on your start time.

Sorry, I did not see your message until now. It would have been fun saying hi to you down at the falls. I was also at Havasupai this past labor Day. You may recognize the waterfall behind me in my picture. It was my eigth annual trip. This time I took a digital camera. All I have to do now is get th...

HI, if you are interested, I am part of a hiking group that does Squaw Peak every Tuesday and Thursday night. We start at 5:45 by the restroom next to the Navajo Picnic area (its the first set of restrooms). Lots of fun. Drop me a PM and I will give you my cell number.
I hope you can join us.

Yes, we are still meeting every Tuesday and Thursday night on Squaw Peak. You are welcome to join us whenever you want. Drop me a PM and I will give you my cell phone number. I don't think I am supposed to do that in these open Forums. Don't want to get in trouble with the Webmaster, again. Your not...

Is Sunday out of the question? My son has Karate in Gilbert Saturday and its my turn to drive.

Vegabond, if the AZ trail works out, let me know as its been a while since I have been on that trail. Lat time I was on the trail I took a bunch of scouts on a fifty miler. By the way if you are interested one of my hiking partners is a volunteer construction crew member and they always need help cu...

We meet by the first set of rest rooms. the picnic area has a name, howeer, I have not a clue what it is. We just know where to meet. If interested we...

We meet by 6:00 p.m. Its been almost a year since I last logged in (amazing how time flies). I must admit the Last time I ...

I find it fun to be with people that have never really hiked before. So many times it reminds me of what it was like the first time I hit the trail in ernest. Instead of getting frustrated with a hiker-wannabe, help them to learn to enjoy what you take for granted. If the experience is fun they will...

The first thing to come off within five minutes of hitting the trail is my watch. I find the wearing any kind of jewelry or watch to be very uncomfortable on the trail. My compromise for my fellow hikers (trekkers) is putting the watch in my pocket or a place in my backpack where they can get at it....

For me the best word is trekking (not sure if I even spelled it right). This has the connotation (spelling??? Ok maybe usage as well) of going where no one has gone before (I think I heard that somewhere before, oh well). I enjoy walking the urban trails of Phoenix, however, there is nothing to comp...

My favorite thing to have after a long hike or when I am just hanging around the campsite, is a good old Backpacker Margarita. Don't knock it till you have tried it. I have never actually tried using a pixy stick as an ingredient, however, it may work. Actual recipe is mix up some Lemon-Lime Gatorad...

Has anyone tried Bob's Bike shop. The owner has been in Scottsdale as long as I can remember. He as a nice selection of bikes for sale, however, his main business is bike repair. I do most of my own repair work, however, I have had a lot of success with them on stuff I can't do the work and Bob's is...

I love dried fruit. My favorites are apricot and pears. Costco has a great deal on bags of dried fruit. Their trail mix bags are great as well, if you don't mind the quantity. Sometimes I think the only reason I get invited on hikes is because of my goodies (that and the fact I can be conned into co...

I would be very interested in joining in. What time and where do we meet?

Thanks
