ghostdancer.....that sucks so bad. I'm going to miss his YouTube videos so much. They were such a great distraction from what is going on in the world these days..... chet6.7.....It's an Osprey Manta 36 which I don't think that they produce any longer. It looks like they've replaced it with one...

Chet6.7.....yes, I'll bet that's exactly what the tin can is. And the jar is probably a summit log (I didn't open it so I don't know for certain). I'm not familiar with the hobby of geocaching so I had to Google it and it seems to fit the bill.....good call.....I would have never known...

.....were actually pretty good..... In the next picture you can see the 4 wheel drive road that we didn't use..... We used that trail that I spoke of to downclimb the mountain. At the intersection with the Forest Service road we spotted another squadron of Javelinas.....again, no more...

Sierra Valley.....there's a half mile long entrance road to the massive parking area. For some reason unbeknownst to me, they chose to park in that entrance road where they were having snacks & drinks. They turned their heads toward me for a second, and then went back to their business not...

Ace.....I actually thought the same while I was there. I was thankful..... ITTOG.....indeed it was deep and for sure it's incredible. You can just imagine the number of years that this tribe lived here without the threat of near extinction by the depth of that hole. It's a forever sign of the...

We walked around the short trail that meanders through Council Rocks..... This site is not at all developed but for this one sign (which is worth taking the time to read)..... The pictographs are very faded.....I suppose because they face to the south and have the sun constantly beating...

Foy.....thanks..... PNWY.....it's funny that you mention hot springs cause it was shortly after soaking in hot springs that the intense pain started. Of course I have no idea if there was any connection. It could have had something to do with getting the Jeep stuck in the deep sand twice that...

Foy.....that is so interesting. Regarding the seventh photo, I didn't notice the distinct line between the two types of rocks. Once you pointed it out, it's so very evident. I love it that you comment on this stuff cause it's all pretty much just rock that I climb on top of. I'm sure we're all...

ITTOG.....I wonder if a debate could be had as to which is more difficult ? Doing one of the roped climbs or climbing the route that I used with 2 big dogs ? The route we used is actually the route that the roped climbers use to downclimb the mountain..... The following morning we awoke to...

It turned out to be the perfect day to climb a mountain. As a matter of fact, we had planned to hike to the mine but the weather outlook for the following day was high winds, so we elected to summit on this day instead, and to explore the mine on the high wind day..... We spent a leisurely hour...

Occasionally we'd come across these flat spots on our route which were so welcomed..... .....and we rested up and watched the roped guys on the wall..... Eventually our route departed the wall and swung around to the saddle which was to the left of the peak.....in the picture below, the...

Day 82.....yep.....82 days on the road and yesterday was the first day that I yanked out my Cabelas canvas lawn chair and kicked back and read my book under the blazing desert sun. Why ? Cause I hurt my knee in the Dragoon Mountains and I chose not to rest it. Yesterday it caught up with me and...

Tanner led the way.....as he always does.....into the Dragoon Mountains..... I'll be posting quite a bit about these mountains in the next week or so.....this range is majical and we felt so blessed to have stumbled upon them..... The hike to the highpoint was rather short actually...

PNWY.....there's no doubt about it. Dogs open closed doors..... Ace.....no need to worry.....Trapper does it all the time. When I said "for some reason unbeknownst to me", I was referring to the location she picked to fall over. She hates the heat and is constantly stopping to lie down in the...

ITTOG.....a week after that incident, I noticed that someone had attempted to prior my camper door open with a pry bar. The metal frame surrounding the door has several bends and missing paint.....stuff happens..... Now that we'd decided to stay in Arizona.....I had to come up with a new...

The AllTrails Ap states that this hike is 6.3 miles roundtrip with 1,581' of elevation gain. The hike itself wasn't much of a challenge.....there were a few obstacles along the way..... The first challenge that we encountered were the cactus. I kept both dogs on leash the entire time thinking...

halseyt.....I believe that the "cliffhanger" happened right after we were talking.....it wasn't a huge big deal..... Rockyroad5023.....welcome to my thread. I love having new people (as well as old people) following along & I appreciate the feedback.....it's been a long journey...

The precipitation.....it first began as a light rain.....the three of us, we watched from the warmth of the camper..... It seems a bit odd to think of precipitation as an actual longed for event.....but I had missed it immensely. I donned my parka and the three of us went out for the last...

We never saw another person here during our 3 day stay.....we did head out on Day 2 to visit the small border town of Sasabe, Arizona..... The volunteer at the Visitors Center said that I had to try the burritos and tamales at the Sasabe Store..... So I did. Now there's not a whole lot...

The campsite I chose was the one closet to the border wall that was available. For "safety reasons", several closer campsites had been closed until further notice (forever ?)..... We ended up spending 3 days and 3 nights here.....and really didn't do much of anything.....and that sure felt...
