Another fine area!!! And that is accurate (or at least WAS when I frequented the area back in 2016-2019). Can't speak to current conditions obviously not having been there for several years.

Re: Gila NF near Alma, NM / Mogollon mtns
@DixieFlyer AH one of my favorite stomping grounds!!! The views from Sandy Point are epic! HOOKED on SW NM (and the Gilas) for several years straight, I started to miss other areas (and have not been back there since 2019), but the Sandy Point TH... such fond memories... if ever I write a book on m...

Re: Hiking etiquette with dogs
I'm dislike loose dogs. Few of them misbehave, but once in a while I meet a nasty one and have been nipped a few times. My favorite was the guy who told me his dog didn't bite as he was looking at the dog with its teeth sunk into my ankle. YOUR "favorite" = MY daily occurrence (back in th...

Re: Bighorn Fire
@DixieFlyer :lol: Reminds me of the time I called, (and spent a good amount of time on hold to apparently get transferred to the correct person) just prior to a trip to the Pinalenos. I'd heard all kinds of things about Mt. Graham being off-limits due to protecting the habitat of the Mount Graham r...

I meant NO disrespect and quite honestly IF the term shoe repairmen (or women) offends them, then THEY need to show their customer base that 'cobbler' is what they want to be known as... FOR EXAMPLE: https://sh...

Re: Coronado NF seeks input on Catalina plan
Could simply be a matter of someone or some group trying to do good (while rare, it does still exist)... ...BUT knowing too much about how things really work (and instinctively reading between the lines), methinks it's time to review my list of Pima County accomplishments and make any remaining buck...

Re: Favorite Approach Shoe?
@chumley Right on! I've heard of others being successful in this regard. Truth be told, I'm extreme 'math-brain' and hate to write (although for something like product reviews and writing about my hikes, it comes much more naturally and is a definite exception!). Though right now, [after the hell m...

Explains why I couldn't find them (top hits copying and pasting from your original post was bringing up some shoe by Obo)...

Re: Favorite Approach Shoe?
@RedRoxx44 Hokas seem to have exploded in the past 5-10 years. None of them made my list but I'll have to give it a second look. Off memory, I think my two biggest concerns were protection (toes/sides particularly) and climbing/edging ability. I'm pretty selective when it comes to the protection fa...

Re: Favorite Approach Shoe?
While it would have been nice to have found a new favorite shoe to stock up with the crazy holiday sales, I still made out incredibly well! Got to love the pre-Black Friday sales!!!
