well done, Jonathan.

Ok ok, you get a free pint already:)

It comes full circle, I bought a e copy of The Marauders a year or so back. Thanks Rob!

Wow, my dream of opening a brewing company is so close. This past few months has been crazy, and I hope in the years to come I see all of you having a fine pint of AZWBC with me at the pub. Our kickstarter funding project link is the best to get more info for now. http://www.facebook.com/azwbc on Fa...

I'm in...Chili and craft beer will be my contribution. I will have some of my Pecan Pie brown ale, you all will be the first to try this hand crafted ale!

Honestly of the 5 or 6 times I've been, never have I seen a zoo like in the video. That requires action of some sort, but oh what a fine line that is.

Just found this video link on Yahoo.com's front page http://news.yahoo.com/video/science-15749654

Of course this is a huge Arizona topic/debate, I am only sharing this because I found it interesting to make "front page news"of such a huge news source.

As soon as I think, "Maybe I am close" I mess it all up again!

Let's just say my "Bartels 5 quest" hasn't made me a worse photographer Though, ever since the post of you wearing her clothes you are much less intimidating

I'm committed for Friday, although I don't know exactly what I'm going to do. I'll be able to get to 25A easily in my truck, so at the very least I'll just hike in from there. However, that's not preferred, as roundtrip just to the base of Sheep Mountain and back looks to be in the range of 10-11 m...

This has been a tough story to follow on a very busy week. Just know your efforts are GREATLY appreciated. I know there are many more ppl like me who can't give time to search, and are thinking positively about the time and efforts given. If needed, I will be joining the efforts next weekend if all ...

What a great weekend! The shots so far are amazing...wow! That was such a great mix of people, couldn't have asked for more. I feel VERY virile after this trip, there will certainly be more of these in the future.


And remember what happens in Hart Prairie stays in Hart Prairie

Anyone who would like my phone# please PM me, in case you cant make it to the meeting point at 1. From what I remember, I will have cell service in all areas.

As far as tents, I have that covered (in case anyone wanted to sleep in one or doesn't have one)...when we get to Safeway we can talk about food and other needs. ( I am going to make some really really good chili for all:D ) Anyone one the fence about this one, I think it is going to be an awesome t...

From the sounds of it...Joel drove everywhere he could to find suitable shots today. It was patchy but, as Jim said, with two nights of freezing temps at least it cant get worse. Its always a challenge in AZ, thats why this fits right in as a standard photo shoot in this state(again staying positive...

I agree it def wont look as snow covered, but there we be some snow left...(positive toughts! )

Without a doubt Humphrey's will retain all its snow...the lows tonight and tomorrow are going to keep it around.

Yesterday I headed north and met up with Joel (he is on Fall break and staying up there for the week, with no internet access) The storms blocked the I-40 at the Hart Prairie section, with no word if hart prairie road itself was closed. ( * The ADOT website seemed to be pointing to it being cleaned ...

not a bad idea at all!!!! I will get up early and get something warm and inspiring going

Great news.... after this gross high pressure system moves out of the SW, a new system of low pressure moves in sometime Sunday evening. This will probably mean the first freeze around the peaks which, of course, is A much needed occurance for those fall colors! I'll admit i was getting worried :sca...

The one question I have is about the sleeping situation. We originally intended it to be a car camp that has a sunset shot within hiking distance to the camp. I still believe that is the situation. I have a 6 person tent, and I am sure we will have plenty of tent/truck bed space between everyone. T...
