Non-Typical Solutions

Anybody got a go to place that still has Tonto passes? Last trip to Canyon Lake there were none available in the Apache Jct area. Maybe Payson?

Edge is right.....I need to go to more bars......I don't get it? What is wrong with Beaver, NV???

My weekend warrior mentality gets me passing through Payson about 7:00 pm on Friday, I will check with some of the local businesses there, maybe the shortage hasn't hit them yet in Payson. Thanks everybody you guys are great as usual!

That is what I was told 2 weeks ago and then when I went down there everybody told me they were "sold out" and that I would have to go to the Forest Service office on McDowell......every place I pulled into said "No Tonto Passes all sold out"! Coming in from Snowflake through Payson!

I know USA presidents all retire from the job pretty wealthy, Obama just happens to be the next one to retire and when I saw this I saw a great opportunity to make some money!!! http://www.cnn.com/2016/05/25/politics/obama-kalorama-washington-dc-leases-house/ Dear Mr. Obama, After seeing the new house you are going to live in and the extreme amount of money you will be spending I thought I would offer you my humble 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home that sits on 1/3 an acre, small yard with a patio/grill in the back yard. Your girls can attend the public schools here, they are really good schools, your girls would be able to walk to school from your home! Great neighbors, clean air and quick access to some of the greatest backroads you will ever find. I am currently asking a mere $11,000.00 a month which would cut your monthly payment in half! I would of course expect first and last months rent up front as cleaning deposit. Sincerely, NTS

How about his claim for fighting against OBAMA CARE.....wonder where that fight happened cause I sure don't remember that one!!

I have seen the support bars used to hold motors during transport but my factory cheap trailer doesn't have the rear cross beam to weld that attachment. Any ideas or other ways to secure the motor?

Thanks for helping me not reinvent the wheel....I figured somebody out there had seen something to help, thank you!!!

Exactly what I am worried about.....the day that I won't be able to heave that thing into my truck bed!! Looks like I a going to have to get creative with some form of removable bracket???

Low quality on the picture so it really isn't fair but you guys always impress me with your abilities so give it a try. I will post better pictures after you give it your best!

You guys are fun.....here is the mystery critter, they would have sat content to let us watch and take pictures but we had a couple of lake boarders come cruising through......the original picture was cell phone and a moving boat, the other pictures are from my regular camera. We had never been to Canyon Lake and really went to see big horn sheep and maybe fish a little. I never really would call myself a bird watcher but there are some pretty amazing critters out there, including those big owls we bumped into. And then there was the fishing......we really didn't try much but as usual my wife always willing to make me look bad!!! And then there was the only sheep we found, luckily we caught him hopping up on a rock right at the right moment. Watched him for about an hour as he moved along the bluffs and terrain. I am sure with a guide we could have found more but we were not disappointed with getting to watch this guy!!! Really the only disappointment was the lack of camping except through the marina 30 bucks per night, maybe there is camping elsewhere but really didn't look. Fun trip great times with the wife out on the lake.

It is an animal and it is as Canyon Lake, sheep pictures will be posted later and it isn't lion or fish, there definitely is a bush there and a cave or "den" behind the bush!!!

You are gonna love it......the rains have made it look great!!! And the cool temps!!! We just spent a week in Alpine......wish I didn't have to come home!!

Very cool and informative post, thanks for taking the time to share all your pictures and the info.

Been years since I have been to Roosevelt Lake, back in the day when you could still camp on the edge of the lake!!! As I recall, there used to be a road that went from Roosevelt Lake to Apache and Canyon Lake down the Apache Trail, but I for some reason thought it was on the, you probably shouldn't use that road list??? Any advice on getting from Snowflake to Canyon Lake would be appreciated, my map app gives me three options and I would really like to go from Roosevelt down but is that really an option??? Thanks, Jeff

Thanks everybody........looking forward to the trip!!!

As we were headed over to unit 27 last weekend, just about to get to Round Valley and we spot these two antelope, one chasing the other around those two big tanks off the side of the road. This guy was getting the crap beat out of him, the other antelope rolled him a couple of times. When we stopped to watch, the one getting beat up came right over to the fence and the other one ran off. It is hard to tell in the video but this guy had blood coming from his neck and other places. Wish I had the camera rolling sooner but just wasn't fast enough getting off the road. https://youtu.be/7WBf-nQGT34

Always enjoy find the deer game.....easy or not.....thanks for posting!!!

My wife is interested in going to a lake she heard of that a person can see big horn sheep from. I told her I though Apache lake is one lake that I have heard of sheep sitings. Can anybody give me some help? I know G$F advertised viewing sheep for a fee I think Lake Meade.....I am not interested in going there, guess just curious for confirmation that sheep can be found around Apache Lake? Thanks for any help, I don't have a tag just wanted to jump on the interest my wife has in seeing the sheep hoping to get to do some fishing along the way!!! Jeff

Anybody else getting an over abundance of beetles this year? All over town any place with any type of night light has hundreds of beetles on the ground next morning. Every day new batch dead on the ground. Just way more than usual?

So why the bumper crop? Windshields are getting beat up!

Took the Grandkids fishing and this guy thought he caught the biggest fish in the lake! When his mom asked why he turned it loose, "Mom it wanted to swim more!

I actually agree with that but I spoiled her last week while fishing reservation lake and watching two turkey hens and a bunch of chicks feed along the bank so now she is luring me to go on a "fishing" trip to see sheep! She really just enjoys seeing different places here in AZ. I am all in with that.

Way better than Common Core!!!

Headed down to Tucson for some Fathers Day visiting Saturday morning, had to go the long way through White River but were rewarded with this sighting. My wife always on the look out for game!! https://youtu.be/egKNSYWe50A
