One we got to about a mile of the ranch the water was fine. At the ranch itself, ya no problem

Just got back from a day hike here. The road does appear to be recently graded. Very doable by car all the way to the trail head. The trail also recently went trough some maintenece in the past 1-2 weeks. It was in the best condition from the times I have been here previously. Barely any water until...

I know that most of Ke'e Beach is currently closed, because of washed out section. Unsure if the access to Kalalau Trail is restricted. http://thegardenisland.com/kee-jpg/image_7430bb4c-5904-56e7-a930-2d726308f2ed.html They should have this repaired soon as this is a popular attraction. Our goal is ...

We too are headed to Kaua'i very soon. I would ask around about current conditions though. Last week there was around 50 (yes fifty) inches of rain. From what I read a lot of areas are still closed. (Mostly on the northside of the island)

Something tells me that this thread will still be going when Joe releases his 2015 version of HAZ Calendar.

I just checked to see if it was going to be available on Netflix, it wsan't.... that bites

I just got this book on Saturday, I was trying my ______ to make it to REI tonight, of course work just got in the way and now I am not able to make it. However can't wait to crack open this book.

How could you tell he was a Boy Scout?

I threw around a lot seeds last fall in my backyard, they all are coming up now and thick. But I can't offer much of a hike unless you want to walk in a circle 200-300 times.

Merry Christmas from South Chandler!

Maybe we should do HAZ X-Mass cards next year? You seem a little more dependable. hahaha

Hey, "ChefTIO may have something there. Have the top..." Remember that line?! :biggrin:

LOL, Yes Maybe we'll drive Joe into the online Arizona nature perdocial retail business too.

Thought of sending one to Arizona Highways with a note that reads "When you get bored looking at roads here's something to brighten your day" Funny you said that. I got my four calendars that I ordered. However I only received 1 box of cards out of 3 that I ordered from AZ Highways today....

This site sure has evolved into something really fun and easy to use. I have yet to find any other site that comes close. This out of control hobby of yours Joe has really taken off. Thanks for all the xtra time you put into this.

I was on Hart Prairie yesterday and it was a mixed bag. Some trees are still green, some trees completely bare, others at various stages of autumn glory… Absolutely perfect weather yesterday with clear skies, a chill in the air, but NO WIND! Second guessed Hart Prairie. Decided to stay in the valle...

I did see that write up in Arizona Highways, but I am wondering how many other folks have that same idea too?

We are leaning towards this one as well for this weekend.

In response to prescottlover's reply: The trail head is somewhat easy to find. From Sedona head south on Highway 179 to just past mile marker 305. There will be a small dirt lot just east of the road with a gate about 50 ft from the road, go though the gate and there should be plenty of space to pa...

Thanks. They are predicting strong winds for that whole area this weekend. Taking a wait and see for what to do tomorrow. Thanks again

Ya I think most areas are a bit early. I'm thinking the Flgastaff area is the best bet or other high elevations. See Canyon up in Payson is on the "calendar" for later this month.
