Camping at the Salt River, Wild Horses
October 24, 2008
At the beginning of this month I was laid-off from work. Slow economy and the company made many lay-offs and cut-backs. So since thien I've been doing some contract jobs - computer replacements at bank branches. I've been working more hours in less days per week than I was before being laid-off. So far most of the jobs have been up in the Phoenix area, so I've been camping rather than staying in a motel, it's cheaper. Last week I stayed at the Coon Ridge Campground on the Salt River.

Mtn biking (and hiking) the King Canyon Trail
September 10, 2008
Today I did a Mtn Bike and Hike on the King Canyon Trail. I found out tonight that mtn bikes are not allowed on the trails inside Saguaro National Park. The trailhead is in the county park, the trail then goes into the national park, where mtn bikes are not allowed. Oh well. I did it and it was a great ride/hike.
Type: Mixed - uphill, downhill, beginner, intermediate

San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park
February 12, 2008
We recently made a trip to San Diego for a few days, and visited the San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park. As well as a quick visit to Cabrillo National Monument. There are around 200 pictures in the Photo Album from this trip, take a look.
On our first full day in San Diego we visited the San Diego Zoo. It's about 100 acres of incredible hiking, so give yourself plenty of time to see it all.

Recent vist to Organ Pipe National Park and more
January 3, 2008
We just visited Organ Pipe National Pipe yesterday, there are pics in the Photo Album, check 'em out. We drove the shorter of the two loop drives, and the one that is said to be the more scenic. What a fantastic place, the organ pipe cactus are something you just have to see. We'll have to go back and spend a little more time exploring the hiking trails and the longer loop.

Off road trip to Chivo Falls
July 16, 2007
What a great trip! 3 rigs headed for Chivo Falls, east of Tucson in the foothills of the Rincon Mtns. The trail is rated at 3.0 to 3.5 on a 5 scale, so is at the beginning of the difficult level as 4x4 trails go. It was a bit of a stretch for my stock Ranger STX 4x4, but I wanted to see if I and it could handle this level of trail.
Jim and Dave were in Jim's heavily modified '73 FJ40.
Tony and Brian were in Tony's lightly modified '85 CJ7. And I in my '88 Ranger 4x4.
