I never had any problems whatsoever with my Svea but it is not titanium so likely no weight savings over your Solo Stove. Maybe compare specs on the web.

Another warning from the NPS. Last year kids were caught on the game camera stealing these sonoran toads from the solar oasis pond in Spur Cross Ranch.

Injury ended the race this morning. NB Ben Light withdrew but will encourage SB Mike McKnight while he continues on to Mexico.

@SpiderLegs
They've been doing the helicopter tours for over 12 years at least. Four Peaks Mining Co. has owned it since 1998. Not sure if it has recently changed hands.

@RedRoxx44
I've got friends in Englewood and on Sanibel. Doesn't look good for that area.

@The_Eagle
The link states an approximate 3 year completion date. Any bets?

I read they were hiking the Elephant Mountain Loop which is within Spur Cross boundaries. The trail is not maintained and is in poor condition past the Tortuga if you are hiking CCW. It's rough but still better than the Tonto trails like #252 or #247 @DarthStiller mentioned. There are two signs prio...

@runnr_az
I believe member @DarthStiller has. Maybe he can help you out.

@DixieFlyer
I don't know if they were locals or not, but I'll find out from Kevin the ranger up there. They were only 4 miles into the hike when their water ran out. Not prepared by any means, that's for certain.

Update: The group of 6 were hiking the Elephant Mountain Loop. They ran out of water 1/2 of the way into the hike @109 degrees. The man that passed away was in his 30's and two others in his group also had to be airlifted out from the main parking area.

We saw the choppers but didn't know it was a fatality. Drink plenty of fluids everyone!

Be thankful it's not snowing...
Imagine shoveling snow in this heat.

We've had almost a full foot of sun up here today. I'm not sure we can make it out to hike.

It's things like this that make my heart swell with pride for being a "creeker". Jay Leno would have had a good time with this headline on his show. Maybe something like..."I suppose the Rothko and Calder exhibits will have to go".

@sneakySASQUATCH
Well, what did you get?

@big_load
He was a big boy but very lethargic due to the cool rain. I coerced him over and into a rock wall behind our home where a nasty pack rat resides. Let the games begin.

We were greeted by this fellow in our back yard a few minutes ago. Largest one I've ever seen @20". Yes, I measured.

@Alston_Neal Reminds me of the old story of the New Yorker who shot a deer in Montana and an old cowboy rolled up. The New Yorker was putting his deer tag on his kill and was afraid the cowboy wanted to steal his deer so he reacted in a threatening manner. The cowboy said whoa, hang on there, you c...

@Pivo @chumley
Yes...citations please.
