I'm down here in Phoenix this week and discovered, sadly, that Laradas Surplus is closing. This is their last week and everything is 50% off. Too bad, they've been there for 42 years. I can remember g ...

Yeah, I was about ready to post the same map link. What a shame. The upper reaches of See, below FS 300, are (were) jaw-droppingly beautiful. The canyon had never been logged - too rugged - and there ...

Hey, anyone know when the new Bass Pro Shop is supposed to open in Mesa? I thought it was in April sometime. I gotta go down to Feenicks for some procrastinated dental work - ack - and thought I'd pai ...

Yup. About two inches of dry 'champagne' powder and still snowing in Alpine. I'm at 8,055' on the front porch. Not enough to break out the snowshoes yet. Trees sure do look all Currier and Ives though ...
