Trying to get rolling on HAZ again

[beterarcher]

I've taken several years off this site and I'm trying to get familiar with it again. Lots of stuff has changed here but I think I'm getting a handle on it. I haven't been hiking much because I lost my job and hadn't found something that gives me the freedom to pursue the outdoors for more than a few hours at a time. Well, I got my old job back buuuuut, the company is going through some though business . I'm looking forward to future interaction with old and new HAZ friends.

P.S. Sorry but, I 4X4 more than I hike now

Cheers,
Michael....

Welcome back! I am also trying to get back in the habit of posting, I took off most of last year myself. I have changed jobs (same company) and that has certainly affected my hiking time, well that and my kids getting older...quality was always better than quantity anyway.

That's funny I was thinking of you a couple days ago. Not good thoughts, but hey I was thinking of ya. Insert funny emoji here....( )

.....HAHAHAHAHA I thought of you Alston when I took the road from Table Mesa rd to the base of New River Mesa. My noob status in my Jeep and the fact that there isn't much of a place to turn around on the climb, I decided against proceeding further

Always great to see people return to the site. Welcome back!

I've got a pile of pics to post but i found that I have to put them all in one file to make it happen in one post......by the way I had a freakin blast at HAZfest 2013, Thank you very much Chums. As it warms up. I'm gonna go check out this year's spot.

So, I wasn't hiking but looking for new areas to get to. I had been studying Cedar Basin Road along the Hell's Gate Wilderness border for a while and just got out there today. There was a HAZer camped along the road swingin in a hammock but I didn't have time to stop so I waved as I went by. Gray Toyota Tacoma, black dog that looked super happy to be there....just wondering who it was.

Thanks but, judging by the posted route I'm not sure if this is who i was talking about as they seem to have been east of Cedar Basin rd by quite a bit. It's sure a beautiful area,
