Well the Michelins are little over 2 years old now with 30k+ miles on them. If they keep wearing like they have been I will likely get 70k out them easily. I do rotate them and check air pressure regularly of course. Nice even wear across the tread surface. As I expected most of the miles have...

KOFA? It’s green all over Arizona, weeds have been growing like crazy around our house.

I’m so guilty of this, trying to correct this error.

Almost 20 years later there was another tragic fire west of Glenwood Springs (not very far from the battlement mesa fire). It was at Storm King Mountain where fourteen firefighters lost their lives. I have nothing but the utmost respect for those who risk their lives fighting wildfires.

I stopped by the memorial site/trailhead yesterday. Although the weather was perfect for a hike I once again didn’t have the time to do the hike, but did spend a few minutes looking at the displays at the parking area. There is a small memorial in the town of Yarnell that Arizona State Parks...

I work with a guy that used to be on the Tusayan, Az. Fire department. They were called to help assist in helping fight this fire and he was there when these heroes lost their lives. It really affected him even to this day. He goes there every year to pay his respect to them. I have driven by...

Well for 20 years all you heard was I would never buy a PW unless they put a diesel in it. Well now you can get one with a diesel, it’s time to put up or shut up.

This is my Fox friend that I see a couple nights a week at the GC visitor center. He makes his living from all the food left by the park visitors.

Another shot from Yaki Point. After two and a half days of no visibility of the canyon due to fog/clouds from the big storm we are experiencing the clouds lifted and the sun shone through the clouds which spot lighted various buttes. I think this is Zoroaster Butte which is to the right of...

Nice score there, I was pulling for the ‘05 over the’13. I bought a ‘05 PW new myself. I had been looking for a truck to replace the 4x4 Chevy van l had. I stopped at the local Ram dealer just to look at what they had sitting on their lot and they had just put out this flame red PW. It was love...

Yaki Point overlook is a great spot to view the canyon from. I like the view looking east with Whonton Throne and Vishnu Temple nearby. In the dark looking down at the South Kaibab Trail especially during summer you can see the hikers headlights. This is my 13th year driving at the canyon, never...

Same shot but about 25 hours later. Moon over Cape Royal instead of the notch and much darker but no clouds blocking the moon.

One of the bigger bulls I saw during this year’s rut. Not as many bulls this year and never saw or heard any bulls challenging each other for the cows. They seemed to be low T or something. There were at least 2 bulls that got hit by park visitors during the rut this year.

Full moon last night rising between Cape Royal and Wonton’s Throne, picture taken from Yaki Point. Just by pure luck my bus route had me at Yaki Point at the right time with good lighting to be able to get this photo. Unfortunately there were scattered low clouds which prevented getting a...
