Had a great long weekend in San Antonio. Primarily went to attend the ABS Expo. First knife show I’d managed to attend in a few years and picked a great show to go to. While not all the makers I was hoping to talk to were in attendance, was still a great show and [...]

Spent New Years week wandering Death Valley National Park. Was surprised to realize just how large and diverse the park is. Ranging from -287 ft below sea level at Badwater to over 11,000 ft at Telescope Peak. We drove through Vegas, past the beautiful Red Rock Canyon area to Death Valley on a Saturday. [...] Had a great 12 day trip through the Moab area. We started leaving Phoenix early on a Saturday headed up to Valley of the Gods. Just past Mexican hat we turned off onto Valley of the Gods road, drove in a few miles and found a great campsite with an amazing view. The following [...] Spent Labor Day week in on the Big Island of Hawaii. As we’d just been a couple years ago, we didn’t plan to do much. Mostly we just wanted to hang out and enjoy the beach. Took a couple of snorkel trips which were enjoyable though we didn’t see quite the variety of fish [...] Took an overnight trip into Prescott National Forest with some folks from Expeditional Portal to visit Attic House Ruins – a well preserved Sinaguan ruin dating to approximately 1280 AD. Met up with the group in Chino Valley. The trip leaders were fantastic guides – very knowledgeable about the area, history and wildlife. After traversing about 40 miles [...] Took a run with the AZLCA to Tip Top Mine. The initial thought had been to work up to Milk Ranch to do a little gold panning and metal detecting. We just weren’t moving that fast though – had to rescue a stranded 4Runner, change a flat on Kim’s 4Runner and had some fuel [...] Headed up north for a short run with some friends. Tried to go from Cherry, AZ to Jerome, AZ over the Goat Peak and Mingus Mountain Loop trails. Unfortunately with all the snow and mud the mild all-terrain tires on the 4Runner just couldn’t get the traction. Had to turn back after 5-6 miles [...] Traveled to Amado, AZ for a long weekend attending the Overland Expo. It was a good show, marred by some abnormaly hot conditions, when combined with blowing wind and dust made it a bit unpleasant at time. The classes themselves though were generally pretty good. The hands-on classes including recovery skills, tire repair and [...] Went out on a nice club run with the AZLCA through Box Canyon, hooking up with the Telegraph Canyon trail and making our way out to Superior. Beautiful weather for the run – sunny, mid-70s and not too windy. Some minor carnage on the waterfall headed out of Box Canyon in the form of a mangled tailpipe on an FJ Cruiser. Lots of [...] Took a short run up Montana Mountain with some friends. Was a cloudy day, fairly cold and windy up at the top – so the pictures didn’t turn out great. But a really pretty area and a relatively easy run. All in all a good day. [Show as slideshow] [View with PicLens] |
