The last week of June my wife and I will be going to visit her relatives in Pinetop/Lakeside. (just southeast of Show Low). I've never been to that area of Az. We want to do some camping, fishing, hiking, exploring, etc. Does anybody have any suggestions of what of what to see and experience in the ...

Hi Mrs. O! The surviving baby is doing very well. The camera owner has done all he can do to prevent this from happening again. The baby (named Hoku) is looking good and healthy and will soon leave the nest. Thanks for asking---Mike C.---by the way, my last name is Crowe

Unfortunately the nest was attacked this morning. The camera owner was contacted at work and rushed home, enabling him to save one of the babies. He is currently searching for the other one with no avail. Heard "crunching sound" in the background and the caws of crows. Sad, but a good less...

Thanks you guys! The coolest thing to me is my oldest son (26) sent this link to me. All those years of "dragging" the kids out to enjoy what we all enjoy was at the most boring thing that could happen to them. Being away from technology, etc. often made frustrating times. Now they see the...

Space Cowboy, I have never been there, but from what I have read I think all of you will enjoy it. Not sure of the etiquette but it sounds family friendly. They have both indoor and outdoor natural hot-water pools including an indoor spa. They also have a playground, rec. hall and campfire circle. N...

Thanks Steve S. I had to find out the hard way! Live and learn. In other words we found out by going to Penny's---ouch! We were comped by the motel, but should of gone to Peggy Sue's. Had a good time in the desert anyway---that's what counts. Mike C. Brea, Ca.
