This is cool, I do bike the canal system when I cant get to any trails.

I also vote for the Superstitions, With the initials AJ what better place to start than Apache Junction.

Sorry to hear about your son Bob, hope all turns out well.

This is great reading, have fun.
I like hearing about the food (cat free stuff) and hiking of course.

It took me a few takes of seeing a bunny also.

HCA doesn't roll off the tongue like HAZ, but sounds like a new web site should be coming up.

Who said we would'nt need this stuff out of high school.
Good stuff.

WOW!!
Hike or canyoneering?

I saw in today's Arizona Republic in the career builder section an ad for software engineers for Garmin International.
The first line says "Develop embedded software in C/C++, for Garmins Auto OEM products."
I thought it fit right in with this thread.

Wow I'm not a vigin anymore, now I'm a lion.

Just heard a report that the second person of intrest in the shooting was a cab driver, he had nothing to do with it.

Anyone can borrow the unit who is going out to look for gpsjoe. It looks like the holiday gift list just g...

Even by not being able to help on the trails, you helped in a different way just by being in the area.

This is a great idea, part way up Siphon Draw, there is a turn off to the old Palmer mine site near a old foundatio...

I want to help out Friday Bob, I know that I can not keep up with you any where you are going, but I can carry water, food, trash or whatever from the trail head in a few miles or whatever is needed.(a secondary base ?) I am getting my back up to do any service calls for me tomorrow.

I voted today also around 100pm ,not very busy at all in Gilbert.

I like Pass Mountain trail about a 8 mile loop. It is not a hard hike and has neat views, not sure about wildlife photography.

Ouch, you got that pain in the back, about a weak back.
Hope you can hit the trails soon.
