Hiking information, maps and tips for the gorge and confluence
Might as well add one more computing and technology obsession onto the pile. The flavor of the month this time is a brilliantly polished naval combat simulator for the PC called World of Warships. I must say, I’m very surprised by how much I am taken with it after picking it up a little over a … Read moreWeeknight Brawling in World of Warships
I cannot believe I stayed up this late — excitement over a new tool and an old canyon, I guess. An eagerly-awaited 3D mouse from Connexion arrived tonight. This new device cuts my project time in half when creating Google Earth flythrough videos. Scripting takes hours for each minute of video. I enjoy working manually … Read moreMy Favorite Canyon Lands

May 2015: our first trip down the Little Colorado There was shade, soft sand, and all the cold, clear water one could possibly drink. We were practically giddy as we sprawled out along the Colorado. The Little Colorado Gorge was beyond beautiful — all the fantastic rumors were 100% true. After four days negotiating its … Read moreGreenwald Point
