It looks like Cliff and Kadizzle will be getting up early Saturday morning. REI in Phoenix at Paradise Valley has agreed to help us promote the trails in the Tonto Basin National Forest. It is about at two hour drive so we will have to leave about six. Our mission will be to set up an information table and spend the day coercing hikers to use the trails we have working on all winter.
The Kadizzles have spent 18 years exploring the Southwest. Most Americans have very little idea of the public lands they own. The west in general teams with wonderful public places. That includes Canada. So many times Kadizzle thinks of the people he knows who never left the couch. They never made any attempt to even see their own country. The world is a big place, and an interesting place, why not go see it?
Sure you can watch television until you are blue, but two dimensional life is no substitute for the three dimensional version. You cannot simulate on television the depth of the Grand Canyon, you cannot experience the height of Angel's Landing from an easy chair.
