Re: Jim Hatt - RIP

I know it's been a long time but I ran across some pictures I took hiking in Indian Springs Canyon with Jim years ago while searching for the body of Jesse Chapin (hope I spelled it correctly). I met Jim thru an email I sent him just asking a few questions out of curiosity. I came to the area every ...

Re: Maps and Mapping Software. GPS Mapping Software.

CowboySlim, So with the aerial map was the only one with that 4wd trail on it? The topo maps did not have it? Making sure I have this right. It looks like I can do almost anything with the software and make it work as well and probably better than my Magellan. Would you say so? Do you like the pn60 ...

Maps and Mapping Software. GPS Mapping Software.

I have had a Magellan meridian platinum gps since they came out. Always been great but after 9 years or so it fails to read the data card anymore. I use it for work now and she owes me nothing. Now I am looking for a new one and in my research I have ran into a few questions about the mapping softwa...

Re: Colorado Man "Goes Missing" in the Superstition Mountains!

Jim, this is directly across from the 1st saddle when I went up on the ridge. When I blow this up it looks like there could be a safe haven there from the elements. I am not sure if Owen got up that far on that side, heavy brush from the floor to there. (pk, pic too big so I'll add it later) If Jess...

Re: Hail from Northern Michigan

I am going for a visit in Feb. Been there a few times already but never enough time. :) I have been to the Iron Mt. area many times backpacking and hunting. I am 48 and already starting to hate the cold and long winters. Last summer it never got too warm here. Jet skiing on Lake Huron is second to n...

Re: Bees

Thank you for the link. The encounter I mentioned scared me so much because of the hit I took on the ear. It was marking me for an attack. I guess I am on the right track, paying attention is the best defense. I too am more afraid of the bees than anything else out there. One of the chances you take...

Bees

A couple of years ago my son and I were hiking in the Mesa area when we encountered a swarm of honey bees on a cliff. Here in Michigan we have bees and I have even gathered honey from my aunts hives before. My question is this: How often do these swarms turn out to be the African type out there? Whe...
