    Hummingbirds

    The next time you hold a quarter, feel how much it weighs, and then realize that it weighs double what the hummingbird in these pictures weighs. I am pretty sure this is a calliope hummingbird sitting on her nest, females are tough to ID, especially sitting on her nest with the important...

    I spent a little over three weeks in New Zealand a few months ago. I finally got the trip report done and on my website. It’s broken into three parts and I have separate pages for the travel journals and albums. So, you can look at the albums with all the photos or you can read the...

    Santa Fe National Forest -- TMR Update

    The proposed map for the Santa Fe National Forest in New Mexico is due out for public comment in April. I'll post up a link to the draft when it posts. From the dealings I've had with the forest, this should be a good compromise for all users, in my opinion. At the very least I can say that...

    This happened in Sep 07 and was published in the latest NM Wild newsletter. Basically a large group of motorcyclists (11) were caught by some folks on horseback well inside the Pecos Wilderness. I have actually hiked this trail to Jicarita peak before and it is well marked as wilderness...

    San Carlos, Sonora, MX--Dec 25-30 2007

    Part I This trip was meant to be a short “sit on the beach and relax” sort of trip. I went with my brother Jess and that turned out to be very cool. We have not gotten to hang out this much since he stayed with me for a summer in 2004. We also met ExPo member “Eurorom” (J.R.) and his wife...

    Does Tread Lightly stop at the border?

    What do the Tread Lightly principles mean to you? In your world: --Are they guidelines that you follow because you want to lessen your impact while recreating in your OHV? --Are they a necessary compromise you follow due to potential land closure issues? In other words, if there were no...

    Terra Pass -- CO2 credits

    So I found this website from a bumper sticker I saw in Santa Fe yesterday. It seems to me that the concept is that you fund clean energy projects through the purchase of your Terra Pass thus off setting your car's CO2 output. http://www.terrapass.com/ My take: I think funding clean...

    Opinions on the wheel well tool box

    DeeZee sells a tool box that goes on the side of the bed, over the wheel well. It's about half-way down on this page. Anyone used them before? By the looks of the photo, this might not work with my Tacoma because of the ARE shell, hard to tell for sure though. WHEEL WELL TO WHEEL WELL...

    2 weeks in Brazil, June 2006

    Me and three friends spent 2 weeks in Brazil in June and I’ve put together a little trip report that I wanted to share with the folks here. It’s sort of a cliff notes version of how daily activities went with pics. The group was made up of me, my friend Dave from work, Brian (Wolfsoul on...
