Spent the day searching. For those wondering about the condition of the road to Peeley TH, it is excellent. A few rough spots the first couple of miles after leaving the pavement, then a passenger car could make it the rest of the way. Any two wheel drive SUV, should make it no problems. May bump in...

I use the MSR Dragonfly, which is there multi-fuel model. It is one heck of a stove and has great stability, of course they are built for expedition use and are able to put up with extreme weather conditions and wind. Also field serviceable. THe thing sounds like a jet airplane when cranked full bor...

I remember you telling me that when we did our Woods Canyon hike and thought holy cow. I agree with Nighthiker that second is huge in a jeep.

I want to get in there this winter and do the Peter Trail to Charlebois like last time, but return via Hoolie Bacon, for a great loop.

Daryl, here is a link, scroll down toward the bottom and you might find what you are looking for.

I can safely assume that everyone who has contributed to this thread has been caught "out of place" at one time, or another. Probably multitudes of times. I have. You deal with it the best you can at the time. Good or Bad. It will always be a learning experience. Amen to that. Great post ...

If you fail to listen to the desert/mountain/canyon it will be at your own peril.Like it is capable of creating a set of circumstances that are varied and changing. Does that make any sense? It makes perfect sense to me, as I can communicate directly with the Supes. I know a lot of people think I'm...

you know what somebody once told me in the past

"if you had an ounce of man in you, you'd take the day off and do it"

Man that hurts, you really know how to put pressure on a guy don't you?

Don't worry I haven't forgotten, but I sure would squeeze both in if I could.

You're seriously tempting me, but I don't think I can arrange it for Thursday.

Maryphyl I think you could be right. It would be highly unlikely that all people in the group would have bacteria lingering in their hydration packs that would cause these symptons. I find it quite perplexing that the entire group would suffer the same symptoms, usually what would bother some would ...

Hey Vegabond,

Out of curiosty what part of CO are you from, I too moved here from CO, a native of Steamboat Springs.

Ditto on all the above comments. I truly had a great time, which is saying something for someone that is not a true social animal.

Cactuscat prepare for a spanking for not showing up

Ah... you are learning well Grasshopper

Off Trail is my favorite and most enjoyable way to go, so I couldn't agree with you more, but if everyone went off trail their would be trails everywhere going no where. Before venturing off trail know how to navigate and always have your maps. They rescued 13 hikers in the Supes this weekend and mo...

You people just touch my heart so deeply, I guess it's the common ground we stand on, the way we think and love the beauty around us. We are so blessed to be able to have this tool to share our love and passion for the sport of hiking with each other. Amen.... I could go on and on and on..............

Hear are some photo's from part of my weekend. I can't write about this part as it wasn't in Arizona, and Joe would hang me from my chest with catclaw, like a Man Called Horse if I broke the rules. I know some of you will enjoy the get away, click on the thumbnail for bigger version...... I will pos...

.....will report back when I find out how they perform

Let me know where a when u r ready to test them, then lets boogey

Well, I won't be able to make this event and I'm sorely disappointed. I've been planning a Sedona w/e for months now, and just my luck... it's the w/e of the 26th!! FIGURES!!

Oh well, maybe next time...

Yes we truly will miss you

You didn't hear it from me, but I have heard that rules are made to be broken
