I also think it's sad that the people that have already been rescued and staged at the convention center are complaining about the conditions they are in. You were warned to evacuate days before the ... |

Everyone made it through just fine (though there were plenty of bruises and scrapes), and it was a great hike. There was a bit of rain but not enough to be a problem. I'm sure someone will have more ... |

For dinner Saturday, put me down for some sort of dessert (and veggie dogs, too, but just for us vegetarians). |

Don't think they make veggie brats.
Not true. For every kind of meat, there's a vegetarian subsitute. And the nice thing about the vegetarian sausages/dogs/etc. is that you actually know what it' ... |

I am told there is a good cheap Mexican place that would hold us all.
Well, there's always Burritos Fiesta (the little place next to Bookman's on Milton), which has amazing tamales.
BTW, I'm bri ... |

In Flagstaff, the thunderstorms have been getting going by 1pm or so most days.
I'm wondering how big the flash flood risk is down there. The reason you get huge flash floods in slot canyons in so ... |

Quick question for the WFW veterans: will old running shoes be OK for the hike? I don't want to have to buy a new pair of shoes right now, and I imagine in sandals I'd be picking rocks from between m ... |

I could do the half, as long as I can just walk it...
I don't like running either
Come on...you can't get a good endorphin rush from just walking! I'm going to train for a marathon in ... |

I wouldn't be able to attend any talk (I'll be in Illinois this fall), but I just want to encourage everyone to go see Katie if you have the chance. She gave a talk/slideshow in Flagstaff a few year ... |

maybe something from the poetry of Donald Rumsfeld
The one about the "known unknowns" and the "unknown unknowns" is my favorite. He's clearly the Walt Whitman of the 21st century. |

One last suggestion: use sunscreen and a hat. At 10,000 feet the sun is twice as strong as at sea level, and you can fry on a sunny day up there.
Have a blast - it's a great hike. |

I've heard that there are some nice camping spots with a view of Oak Creek Canyon that aren't too far from the starting point...I'll look into it and get back with y'all. |

A 1-year-old Vermonter on Tuesday likely became the youngest person to have summited Humphreys Peak.
That morning, the tyke and his family took to the trails, but winds reaching more than 100 mph ... |

The smoke was bad up north this morning, too. Coming up to Red Butte on 64 (just south of the Canyon), you could see an opaque band of smoke at ground level stretching off to the north, east, and wes ... |

I should be free, especially if it's something close to Flagstaff. |
