No more need for caution. Suspect in custody.

Whoa news to me! I've used Dave Page several times, although it was at least 10 years ago, the last time.

you'll find asbestos instead @big_load Only if I'm looking. I don't seem to have caught the rockhounding bug. I have a friend out in Golden Shores/Topock who is an avid rock hunter, makes jewelry, etc. For myself, I don't want to collect more material things, (unless they fall into the category of ...

@Nighthiker I don't know but I can ask around. I never hear about people going rock-hounding around here. I think if there were semi-precious stones I would have heard about it at some point. [Edit] I Googled it and it said that it is found on the San Carlos reservation but not in the Springerville...

@Nighthiker
Are there additional roads featured that weren't in first edition?

@Nighthiker
Thanks for posting this! I just submitted a materials request to the Flagstaff library to purchase it. Hope they do.
[EDIT: I already received an email that they will purchase the book!!]

Well and also in addition to my previous response, it looks like the Flagstaff giant snowstorm with 18 in is going to be almost a complete dud.

I've been watching the Flagstaff railfan webcam today. (Main webcam is off.) Not a lot of snow, maybe more than two inches. The visible street and parking lot have a lot of black showing. At one point I saw people lugging suitcases through the snow. I'm guessing Amtrak was late (again).

@chumley We've been up to 74 miles an hour so far. No, it isn't too uncommon. I recall when I lived here before that it got up to about a hundred miles an hour one time. This time around, I moved here last April, so the very windy period was over with. I'm not sure if this wind storm is normal or d...

It's a wee breezy here in Eagar this morning. So far, Springerville Airport is recording gusts up to 59, but forecast is for low 60s later on. Some of our neighbors have giant trees hanging over their homes. We're just watching out the windows. Sometimes there's a gust that makes a big roaring noise...

We got a little bit here in Round Valley. It drizzled off and on all morning. Better'n nothin'. Supposed to get a little more next week.

I've been known to sleep with my canister. One morning struggling to make coffee is one morning too many. I use the MSR Pocketrocket.

Good to know about the boil time.

I have seen various alcohol stoves in use. While I am cleaning up after having eaten my meal, the alcohol stove person is still waiting for his water to boil. But my main question is: What the heck is TL;DR ? Yes, I know I can Google it. Other than being slow, alcohol stoves can be workable, but you...

@chumley
Maybe I will look for the summary! It looks pretty long and pretty dry [unintentional pun].

As a commercial driver, I drive a very large bus, not a truck and trailer, but I do have 30 years' experience with large vehicles. Looking at the photos, I have to wonder if the guy couldn't have made that turn onto the bridge. It looks like he had room to make a wider turn, at least in the photo. B...

@Alston_Neal
Well? Which is/are it?

This is interesting. I have two pairs of Altra Timps high tops and one pair of Altra Lone peaks high tops. One pair of the Timps is new. Maybe I'll start wearing them.

Yeah, but do they do dishes and take out the garbage?

@RedRoxx44
I saw that. But all of San Diego's reservoirs are low. I call pumpkin on this pronouncement.

I don't think there are very many actual journalists left.
