I've seen a couple of his other videos, and he is really good. One of the things on newer vehicles I noticed was the lights, headlights and turn signals. On some, when you put on a turn signal, the headlight on that side goes out. So others can see the turn signal better (?), I don't know. I...

What a great trip. Was that fox as mad as he looks in the photo?

Hi- Very few of the photos are on my MacBook, several of the initial videos are. The statue, the monuments for the Wright Brothers, and a few of the ponies are about it, even after ~10 minutes of waiting.

HI Ski3pin I'll respond here to your post about the mileage mark you guys hit and the 4wheel trouble. I have a 98 Ranger, and it has now got 230,000 on it. Lately I've had a few struggles with the 4wheel drive mechanism. Over all it has worked very well and I have no complaints, but it became...

I don't think you have 'posted more photos than warranted' and I also appreciated your comment [Note: some of the "roads" shown in Google Maps are not roads at all.]. What a great trip-Thank you

Regular gas went up to $4.80/gal a couple of months ago in Tucson and has just recently begun to come down. It is ~$4.20 in most places around town, but can be found a bit lower if you search.

That Black Point Canyon romp was quite incredible, some of geology/nature at its best or most exciting. Nice photos, what a great trip! Thank you.

And to think Snowden left that part out! No wonder he's still hiding in Russia. I went to Organ Pipe Cactus NM in December last year and discovered all the sites were reserved; how could that be? All the sites had reserved tags hanging on them. Well of course they weren't all reserved, and...

Hi AWG_Pics - I've used: https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/topoview/ and it is fairly easy to use to download USGS maps of any 7.5 minute quadrangle you choose and then print the pages, I've taped them together. I guess the advantage of https://topobuilder.nationalmap.gov/ is that you get to define the...

Burro Creek is nearby and a little more heavily used. You may be able to glean something more about Arrastra Mountain by looking including Burro Creek in your search.

You guys certainly looked bundled up! How cold were the nights? And many thanks for sharing your adventure.

Craig Childs has a new book out, Tracing Time: seasons of Rock Art on the Colorado Plateau; published by Torrey House Press. It is written similar to several of his previous books, descriptions of time in the wilderness and time spent with experts in the field. It always amazes me how wide and...

What a great trip--Thanks. Really nice images, especially that stitched together one in part 1.

That was a pretty ambitious group to build that structure, it must have included an engineer or two. Had you been to the ashram before?

Those are great photos of the stone on the ground, some almost look like tile work. If anyone hasn't read Ansel Adam's autobiography, it is a real fun book.

What a great trip. I've looked at that chunk of land on a map for many years. I must admit that deep sand always scares the heck out of me. Your photos of Valley of the Gods were very nice. When you crossed the Dirty Devil River, your initial attempts at the exit packed the mud and the rest...

Great trip, it's good to have a lot of 'favorites'. You probably can't have too many favorites!

You made a fine call, it has been a marginal and far from typical spring all through the mid-west. I hope you have great adventures with your new trailer.

What a great trip. No library near me has a copy of Hiking Western DVNP, I may have to invest in one.

You guys sure have a knack for finding those petroglyphs. In all my wanderings, I've only found two, one in Death Valley NP and one in KOFA. Years ago I encountered those cowboy petroglyphs you pictured in one of your KOFA TR and I completely missed the native ones almost adjacent to them. I...

I've been on several service projects with the Sierra Club; once in Death Valley and once at Ft. Ord in California. I've also worked in several ongoing programs here in Arizona. The BLM staff we worked with were just inspiring, people with dedication and ideas. They were people with a vision...

You almost have to be well below 3,000' to have nights in the 40s or higher. Tucson (2,600') probably has more than 25 nights a year with lows in the 30s. PS- Probably closer to 20 nights, and I live right by the Santa Cruz River, so its probably colder at my place than much of the rest of...

In Tucson, we have a enterprise called Tucson Metal Supplier. They sell to major manufacturers and to the hobbyist. They have a showroom/city desk area and have bins of material available. They have steel, aluminum, copper, brass and fasteners. And in all imaginable shapes from sheet, tubes...

Ideas are generally the hard part of most endeavors. Using Air Mail Beacons as a tool for discovery and what adventures that brings us to; distant places, history. Part of what continues to bring me back to WTW are the resourcefulness and initiative of the members. Thank you all

Hi Ski- I imagine your trip is full by now, but I'll stick with my recommendation from your last excursion this way. The road that runs from the Nogales area over to Arivaca is called the Ruby Road, it is actually Forest Road 39. It is a spectacular introduction to the border area, but...
