A few months ago I wrote about some hikes near Safford in the Pinaleno Mountains, and the hiking and fishing available at Roper Lake and Dankworth Pond. The Safford area has a lot to offer, and it's a great place to visit this time of year because the weather is gorgeous and it's the perfect time to hike or just camp somewhere beautiful. Beautiful Scenery If you take Highway 70 east from Safford for ten miles or so, you will come to Highway 191. Follow 191 to milepost 160, four miles south of... Full story
You may wonder why you would even need a CCW permit in Arizona, since we have Constitutional Carry. CCW stands for Concealed Carry or Carrying a Concealed Weapon. What's the difference between Constitutional Carry and having a CCW? Well, in Arizona you are allowed to carry a concealed weapon without a permit.

John Anderson is shown thoroughly enjoying his new aluminum Ranger boat on Bartlett Lake. He reports, "It's been a long time since I've enjoyed fishing this much. Margie [Anderson] and I love fishing, but we also love hunting, hiking with our granddaughters, sporting clays, bird hunting and tons of other outdoor activities. So, spending $60,000 on a boat that doesn't get used every weekend just didn't trip my trigger. This Ranger is easy on the wallet but still lets you fish like a pro and... Full story
Early Spring Hikes: Being able to hike year 'round is one of the many blessings of living in Arizona. In the winter, you hike in the desert; in the summer, you head for the mountains.
