SWEET mini bike!!!! Brings back memories! As a boy, I got hold of an old mini bike frame (I think I found it at the junk yard or something...). Grabbed a 3.5hp Briggs and Stratton off an old mower, and with a little mechanical coaching & help from my old man, we turned that thing into a lot of riding fun!! Eventually upgraded to a 5hp engine. I grew-up in Kearny and spent hours and hours exploring the Gila and washes around town on that thing. Great project to teach a young kid the basics of mechanics. Good luck with the sale!

I'm on board with a good super bowl get-together. A good reason to chill at home & cook and have my kids and other family/friends come over for some fun. I'm not that into it, but I do enjoy a good game (which this one wasn't much of.... LOL). As for the half time shows, I just straight-up don't really care who performs and for what reason. If I'm not interested, then I'll just ignore it and chat with my people or do whatever. Sort of like I ignore a bunch of other stuff in everyday life that really doesn't concern or impact me.

NOTHING beats hunting with your kids! LOVE IT!!!!

I'm a fan of landowner tags only in New Mexico, where my sons and I hunt pronghorn every year. LOL

Great times with the kids! AWESOME!

Year after year! Good stuff!

The Tonto Cliff Dwellings? If so, then yes, the trail traverses past within about a mile or so. Didn’t get a view of them though. (Was already dark when we past that part of the trail. Not even sure if they would have been visible during day, given terrain…) Side note: Was pleasantly surprised by water all along the way. From Reavis Ranch all the way to Roosevelt, the springs and creeks had decent water.

Hiked Superstition Wilderness section of AZT on Saturday. Roger’s Trough to Roosevelt - 31 miles / 79K steps / >15 hrs on trail. (Freaking spectacular country in there!!) Only a couple of mid-week workouts. Need to get my exercise up to 5-6 days per week. Went overboard on food last week, topped off with Superbowl party snacks all afternoon yesterday.

No worries. Stick around and enjoy the site. Good bunch of folks, here. 👍

Didn't say 500 makes you reliable. I said that having greater than 500 points makes it unlikely that he is a scammer. Relatively small community here on cw.com, so I stand by what I said regarding him not being a scammer. If someone got info from the post and took it over for the purpose of scamming, that doesn't make the poster a scammer. Sort of makes him an ancillary victim, in a way.

Just so freaking awesome, all around!!!

Ummm...... He's got >500 posts on this site. Very unlikely he's a scammer.

No pics, but impatiently waiting for GF to bring dinner, and looking here made me hungrier. Hopefully will be eating a big Greek salad (with Giro mystery meat) and extra tzatziki, soon.

I still have mine from when I was a kid. I sometimes get it out to harass pigeons in the backyard. lol

AWESOME!!!!! Best of times!

Did another AZT section over the weekend. 27 miles from Freeman Road to the Kelvin bridge on the Gila. Set-up a car camp at the top of Ripsey, so was able to spread the hike over two days. Work has been sucky lately, so other than that, I haven't made time for mid-week workouts. Gotta change that. Food intake wise; Trying to go with minimal carbs/sugars, but not being as discipline as I need to be. Still haven't broken-out the calorie counter app.

Pretty big stretch to assume they are going to close down 9.2MM acres of land. As has been said, it is likely to ensure they have the legal authority to take action as/if deemed appropriate.

Boom! Calorie deficit is the ONLY way to lose weight. Period.

Solid results! 👊 I'm thinking I should re-warm the old calorie counter app to help get me on track for losing the cookie-weight I picked-up over the holidays.

Some crazy dude set an unofficial AZ Trail record a couple of months ago. Averaged 70 miles per day for 12 days to complete the entire thing (North to South). Obviously more of a 'trail runner' than hiker. Insane! At 59 years old, high-20s per day is my absolute max. lol

Ya, 27 is more than I like to do. Prefer to keep it under 22ish, if possible..... Given we are hiking and not glassing, our deer sightings are generally fairly limited. That being said, we did see quite a few deer this time. Bumped 3 different groups of Muley's in the early morning. Likely 20-25 deer total, with 3-4 bucks among them. Nothing bigger than a decent 3x3. Was a nice surprise to see so many deer.... Grimaldi's for the pizza. Extra sausage and peperoni on the pizza, plus a big mediterranean salad. (If all I had to eat for the rest of my life was pizza and Sonoran Mexican food, I'd be happy.)

Hiked 27 miles of AZ Trail on Saturday (Black Hills - San Manuel area to Freeman Road - Spectacular 37B country....), so I rewarded myself with two Quarter Pounders on the ride home. Then last night, GF talked me into pizza. Ugh.... S. EDIT: Quick answer is NO, I didn't stick strictly to my fitness goals for the week.

Have you tried 'calorie counting'??? I never paid much attention to it, but last year I wanted to cut about 15 pounds prior to a fairly tough backpacking trip I had planned. I downloaded one of those calorie counter apps and used it. Set a goal of 1500 calories per day, and the app helped quite a lot in tracking (and really SEEING) how many calories I was taking-in each day. Was sort of a pain at first, but once I got used to entering the info it really helped. I met my weight goal with the help of sticking to <1500 calories per day + exercise. No matter what your age, running a calorie deficit will result in weight loss. Maybe check it out? Talk to your trainer about it to get her input? Good luck!

For sure, it has made a difference. Wasn't a miraculous change, but over time I have experienced WAY less lower back pain. Still flare-ups sometimes (usually the result of lifting something at an awkward angle), but in general it has improved.
