For Links To Hiking In Arizona, A Little Education In Nuclear Power, And Other Most Excellent Links.

Who Am I?

I am a native Montanan who has come to roost in Arizona by way of California, Illinois, Michigan, Florida, Illinois, Virginia, Florida, New York, Washington, California, Idaho, and California. The Phoenix area has been a great place to live but I have to admit I left my heart somewhere else. You can see where by checking out this camera.

My Hobbies

I have come to love the hiking that is available around Arizona, and Phoenix in general. I have assembled what I believe to be the most complete listing of Arizona-related hiking links available on the web. Be sure to check out AZventure In Hiking.

I also enjoy skiing. Got to say that Deer Valley in Park City, Utah has the Greatest Snow On Earth. This is one classy ski resort! Maybe I'll see you there. Here are some pictures of our 1996 trip.

Where I Earn My Money
