This thread is way better than the show! I record the train wreck.... so I can FF through most of it, each show may only have about 20 minutes of un-repeated content. The last show.... The drama of the bat guano! holy $hi#! Big babies. That Deal guy has a big pair.... or is really dumb to climb that...

I met Andy and Ioana at a friends wedding a couple years ago, talked hiking & GC stories, she always had a smile on her face & loved the canyon. Here is a more detailed close friend & hiking partners discription: http://edhensley2012.blogspot.com/2012/02/falling.html#!/2012/02/falling.html

I e-mailed in a yes to: wildernessmedicine@cox.net

I will keep an eye out for a Saturday (12/4) plan, Cabo & I should be available and willing to go anywhere. After Fridays adventure, I recomend shin guards for all, specially if you have to wear a dress to work, :) all that brush is tough on the shins. I think the weather should be ok by the wee...

@Vaporman
I'll be there!

@Vaporman...I can do that. meet at the intersection in the pic attached? It is about an hour drive for me, I'll leave before 6:30 am Friday. I will be in a black Jeep wrangler. 480 223 7738 give me a call or text. Was a radio frequency decided upon? http://www.hikearizona.com/dex2/igallery/image_pag...

I plan on heading up to Peeley TH Friday AM, 8 or 9 ish? I am open on that. @Vaporman If you would like a ride to the top for your hike in, works for me, let me know what time you will be at the bottom. btw.... I have no extra pants... :scared: ... :sl: I will be traveling with Cabo, she has a great...

If any plans firm up for Friday or Saturday I will offer my assistance for the search effort. I have a Jeep and I will be available. Perhaps a drive into the Cornucopia Mine area for search of the last known bail out?
Will be watching for any posted dates & times.

Nice to see you to! :) Looked like you were draging two anchors when I passed you on the way up :( ... had to make my time. ;) I will post a few pics soon. The lady eating the big bag of Lay's is going up for sure. Everyone hikes to burn off the chips, she is the first one I have seen refueling at t...

I can always find a spot to park my motorcycle in the lot.... so I like it!
I may be there at 5:30.... sunrise is getting later these days..... and cooler in the AM.... yay!

Is that your evil boot camp instructor start time?

Do you have to pay to park yet? Did that start in Aug? But they were going to issue warnings for 6 mos?
Thought I read that somewhere,.... may have been Joe's post.

That sucks... I was going there tomorrow, glad I was lookin around.

Start early, take plenty of water and lunch for the top. This is the best hikes to the top, shotrer than Weatherford, longer than the Summit trail. Make sure you have good shoes/take a foot kit (moleskin, extra socks) Not much water past the dirt road, you might want to carry extra and stash it when...

Wow! Rob, I have to ask.... When you go hiking, can you relax and have a good time? After reading this thread, I would like to buy you a trailhead gift card for the Tonto National Forest, but I think you would worry too much about how much I paid for it :sweat: You need to take a hike :D .... I mean...

When I leave the trailhead or the lake I always look to recycle

I think that is how you make happy campers or boaters

I don't mind paying, but I would like to see more $ going to the FS not private companys, unless they pick up trash and provide security for the same $$ ....??

Take note, Happy hour ends at 7:00

Show up at 6:45 and you can still get

See ya there!

Time to revive this thread

7pm works for me ....... Its do-able :BH:

Hope everyone had a great Holiday! : rein :

Now back to work .... or planning your next adventure.

Anyone ready to go back? I find myself looking at the peaks,
wanting to go again.

No, I did not have to lean over to take the picture, yes that is Joe

What a great adventure, I have to many leg pinstripes to count, but I would do it again in shorts .... or I will do it again in shorts. I had lots of extra clothes with me, but in December, you have to be prepared. It was truly a great group, a nice change to get an upper body workout while on a hik...
