Well, I actually understood your question to mean exactly this. I was only sorry not to have enough experiences yet to share. Someday soon, I bet... :p Best,

Yeah, but guess who sat right next to them?? :eek: :rolleyes: :p Ouch!!! I was so sorry to hear Genie got hit by the snowboarder!

If I run into him, I'll be happy to introduce myself and say "hello" and "congrats".

Yes, well just some weeks ago, I had the same question about hiking near Las Vegas so you should checkout my thread here as I got lots of very valuable information which could apply to you as well: http://www.vftt.org/forums/showthread.php?t=16533&referrerid=2552 Good luck and happy trails! :)

I was there recently too on April 6th and did NOT see any VFTT t-shirts there either. Friendly owner and a great little store though--well stocked otherwise!!

Help: I Need a woMan... ;^) (I love your thread's title!) :D Another possibility...While I am not an expert on the nutritional factors for winter hiking, I do know that winter hiking requires a much higher caloric intake which generally is important to keep our bodies warm (core...

I don't have any special glove type suggestions but need to ask, does your wife, in fact, like to hike? I ask because I have a teenage, girly-girl daughter who doesn’t and this is her first complaint when we have hiked, “my hands are cold!”. If she is ok with it and barring any medical...

Gosh!! I had NO idea there were so many nice options in this immediate area as other than visiting the Grand Canyon & Tucson, AZ, and Southern California, I've not ventured out west! I am thinking that a wiser option might be to extend this business trip and make it a longer vacation...my...

Thanks folks! Wow! Thanks for all the input! Red Rock Canyon sounds great but considering the time of year and it's temps, I am much more inclined to drive further west to higher grounds as Audrey has suggested...I don't do too well in the heat despite my Caribbean genes! :cool: :D I...

I will be in Las Vegas, Nevada early August on a business trip and plan to have about 3-4 days to do day trips starting on a weekend. More than likely will have to solo this trip and wondered if anyone can offer ideas for day hikes nearby Las Vegas. Red Rock Canyon has already been mentioned...

I parked at the Lafayette Campground parking area (93 Southbound) today for about 5.5 hours with success! I made sure I had nothing of value visible with the exception of some spare cheap trekking poles. Thanks for the tips!

:eek: With all due respect, it certainly can't hurt for him to carry some traction. We don't want Mohamed to "be a thread" like your wife says and to have to write his own accident report in Appalachia! :D Have fun, Mohamed! I really loved your lecturing at the recent winter...

Any updates on new security measures or recent breakins at the Lafayette Campground lot (93 southbound) since the last post about this area late February?

Mohamed, Greetings! While you await Hamero's first hand assessment, the following link from the Blue Hills Meterological Observatory provides a daily discussion on the weather conditions at the reservation to include snow amounts: http://www.bluehill.org/discussion.txt It states there are...

Wow! This sounds like an awesome hike developing here!! I love the Moose and have not done it in winter so this would have been a great opportunity but as luck would have it, I can't...still recovering from a sprained ankle. :( Here's wishing you all a great hike!! :)

Ditto! :( Tried viewing via AOL and IE but no luck!

Brrrrrr! Looking outside just gives me the chills... I beg to differ, Gig but wouldn't you rather have a nice HOT cup of this this weekend instead to celebrate the luck of the Irish? :D

Yes, please keep me posted...terrific and thanks! :)

...additionally, I've not been but want to make an effort to go to Denali National Park one day and hopefully soon. See http://www.denali.national-park.com/ for all you'd want to know about visiting.

Shadow... PM MattS on here about this as he visited Grand Tetons last September or September 2005, actually. He later gave a slide/show and talk on his trip and I was very impressed. Definitely the place for wildlife as he and his buddies encountered many right on the trails. His slides were...
