@Alston

This is a classic from at least 5 years ago. It just resurfaced in conversation again last night. In my opinion it should be the new rickroll. It's a train wreck you can't stop watching. Really, DH in some kind of yakskin coat eating a raw fish by hand? Artistic masterpiece!

This is a big issue with State Route 99 ... which runs south from Winslow for about 5 miles before turning into dirt forest road 34 that terminates 60 miles south at FR300/Rim Road near Bear Canyon Lake. I think somebody actually died a couple of years ago after getting stranded in a snowstorm up there. Not a good place to be in your Prius. But the GPS says it's a highway...

but his cat was trapped in a pet taxi and will remain a tragic lesson for us all.
The sad part is the cat was the only smart one in the car.

I just found the site yesterday. I like it for the military humor. (Something the military, or at least the brass, is not known for.)

Maybe it's not such a good thing that wildlife in our National Parks have completely lost their natural fear of people! :o

It's there. I've fished it. ;)

Google Maps has some strange anomalies sometimes. I can't tell you how many trails across the state are labeled Kachina Trail. There are several of them.

Thank you, I wondered many times, do I call this trail a wrong name? Is kachina an old name etc...that clears that up for me a little...

Kachina is an actual trail on the SF Peaks. I'm not sure why it shows up on GM elswhere, but for some reason I can't find one right now :-k

@joe bartels
that makes sense, that google map route I used for White Mountain, Rough Canyon, labeled the section from Roger's Trough the Kachina Trail...so that would certainly be AZ trail..

I understand someone at the ATA tried to get google to name the AZT by it's passage names. And Kachina Trail was as far as Google got with it.
