MARPATS for me, they come in two shades, desert tan or forest green, unless of coarse you are in the polar regions then they come in white. Can't buy them in the civilian stores only imitation, have to have someone with connections.

Well said

I know this post is old but I still am amazed at the stereotyping, because a person has a gun and wears camies, he is an NRA militia type. Oh yah he had a beard that clinches it. Could it be that they were just rude and jerks.

California, why am I not surprised.

Only her hairdresser knows for sure.

The old Land Cruiser not the new urban family vehicle. Of coarse with the 327 V8 I can't afford the gas.

Yes usually I yield to bikes because it is easier but on rare occasions I have had the experience where the biker just assumed the right of way and I didn't yield. This is a very rare, usually everyone is quite courteous.

Remember bicyclist yield to hikers and horses.

on a slightly different note , does anyone know what the orange or blue paint markings are for in the coconino national forest Some trees have one orange stripe some two or three. I assume this is some marking for logging but couldn't get a good answer.

Monsoon means change of direction meaning the weather comes in from the south rather than the north. By the definition this is a monsoon and though not as large ad the ones in Asia still a monsoon. Recognized by the meteorologist.

I had a 1966 Toyota land cruiser back in the 70's and 80's, Actually they called it a chevota, V8 chevy engine. Loved that vehicle but it was a rough ride.

Thanks, May drive up and check it out some week.

@CannondaleKid
thanks

Has anyone gone to rogers Trough via what I believe is NF 650 near Superior and up over Montana Mountain then to Rogers Trough. When I was on the Arizona Trail I walked a bit of this and looked like a good road.

@CannondaleKid
That's good because I got mine in January also. I doubt I will be using these much in May or June though. I have an appointment with Dome mountain and if it ever stops raining I'll be able to keep it. Not Complaining about the rain though.

@DixieFlyer
Thanks good to know.Guess I will have to finish up the hiking I still have planned before my pass expires. If it ever stops raining before it gets blazing hot.

I watched that document after running into two people up on the Kaibab plateau that were doing that hike a few years back. I believe the they were interviewed during that documentary.
