I heard about this from another Forest Service trailhead volunteer. Thought I would pass it along.

@hikerdw I think I’ll do the same!

@tibber I would love to join you but I have a hiking commitment the following day. Sounds like a good hike. Enjoy!

@SuperstitionGuy Hope you can make it. We met several years ago before a “Flatiron Arrow Removal” event. I’d love to hear some of your hiking experiences.

Come on, Owen. Change to commit. The cookies and chocolate strawberries are worth the effort!

Excellent! This was on my list for near term hikes.

I so wanted to go play in the mud this morning. Figured it would rain as soon as I started working again.

100% today. Half an inch in Gilbert. I went out for a redneck car wash

@SuperstitionGuy @outdoor_lover
Maybe that's why Pam had "questions." That might be fun if we can find another approach. The road we came in on requires high clearance 4X4.

I have my heart set on attending the event, but would understand if you don't want to risk it. The big issue, aside from masks and distancing, would be handling of champagne, cookies and other goodies. I'm sure we can figure that out. The group photo will require some creativity with distancing and ...

@DixieFlyer
I sent a subsequent reply with the updated closure order. I did not ask for the map since it's already been posted previously in this thread.

@chumley @wallyfrack
I called him back. The order number is 03-12-03-20-411. See attachment.

@chumley
I called the Mesa Ranger office today to inquire about the Peralta trail. Kyle said that the restricted closure order was extended through October 31st.

@AZLumberjack Peralta TH is open, but Peralta trail is closed. That appears to be the east boundary of the closure. The Bluff Springs and Dutchman trails are open.

I am having issues with my iPhone, so I bought the phone recommended by Todd. I used it today. Works quite well. $129+ after tax at Best Buy.

I have been. I have relatives in Eugene that are sitting nervously while the Holiday Farm fire torches Willamette NF. Caused by a fallen power line. It has grown to 150,000 acres in just three days.

I detach the bite valve from the tube, wash it with soap and water, rinse, then set it aside. I drain the bladder promptly, shake out as much water as possible, insert a wadded up paper towel in the bladder to allow air inside, then hang it upside down on a rack in my garage to air out. I have never...

@tibber Hi Angela, I’m driving from Gilbert. If you’re anywhere close to my route, I can swing by and pick up the taffy. Send me a PM if that works.

Although I rarely mention them out loud, they’re usually the same: lose 20 pounds and stay healthy. A third would be to hike 1,000 miles. The healthy part has been inconsistent the last three years and losing that 20 pounds has always been elusive. Getting 1,000 miles will require planning. This yea...

I almost forgot. Looking forward to seeing you again, Pam!
