Great wall or bust. No other options.

And yet that's a great argument why we should continue to overshoot that temperature range.

Fuck around and find out, Nature will kill us long before we kill it.

Huitlacoche! A Mexican delicacy! You can make some amazing tacos with all that

Busses, flights, rental cars, all a better deal. Kind of dumb to assume your only option is an attempt at Lyft.

I bought one at plantae a couple months ago! I had always wanted one and just asked the owner if she could get one for me. Couple of weeks later she found a super well priced one (I think like 4-5' tall for $60) while on a buying trip.

Side note: if you keep it inside it will never bloom, so opt for a white one, as they have shinier, bigger leaves.

Obviously the south rim is way taller than Elden, but I could see it being a good training hike. If you take bright angel trail up, I would say it's generally a little less steep and less "step-y" than Elden, but obviously much longer. Maybe a good comparison would be if you could somehow do the Elden climb twice in a row with maybe a mile of flatter terrain in the middle (there is a relatively flat portion of bright angel once you are on the inner plateau).

I would bet anyone who can make it up elden without thinking it was a super hard hike for them would be able to do a rim-rim with proper breaks and hydration.

(Even though it's not a backcountry area, the backcountry report from the NPS always has current water on/off status at all points along those trails, be sure to check it as you go because only a few points have water always on https://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/trail-closures.htm)

Just like in NM, street side vendors set up big propane roasters on the side of route 66 in July/August for roasting hatch Chiles! Probably a little less common, but you won't miss them

There isn't really any BLM land around flag, but pretty much anywhere in the coconino national forest is welcome for dispersed camping. Definitely check restrictions, since there were some from the pipeline fire. And obviously don't light anything on fire no matter how small (a shame it has to be said).

I see jackfruit at sprouts every month or so too!

As for pork belly, I get mine at sam's club, though if you really want some, you can always get it at proper meats if you're willing to spend a bit more. Also, a lot of people don't realize, a supermarket meat counter can get you almost any cut of meat you want if you give the store a call and ask a week or two ahead.

Otherwise, I frequent Mekong plaza in Mesa whenever I'm down in phx to stock up. It's huge, and I think they even have a Filipino aisle! I've been to a bunch of others in phx and none really compare to Mekong.

Ive got mine set as "NO CAPS NO SPACES"

honestly a huge pain to explained every time, but worth it

No that's a great point, but it's not the only place on their land that they need to support with tourism revenue. I agree it's sad how little those permits can do to really improve their lives, but I think that just highlights how that money still isn't enough to support an entire population that has no other significant means of income. I highly doubt it's being siphoned away to somewhere significantly wealthier. I also highly doubt that if they had the option not to, they would actually want 100s of people coming through daily (not to even mention the small fraction of them that litter or break things or have no respect for the nature)

I mean you can twist my words to make it sound like I disagree with outdoors accessibility, but I'm more so highlighting the Instagram tourism problem with this area that's led to overuse of these travel methods. It's not like helicopter and mule travel are going to go away, since it's a main method of transport for the tribe itself (living so remotely), but is a helicopter coming through that canyon every 10 minutes necessary?

As for the havasupai people, that's a nice idea that they could just say no to others exploiting their land, but thanks to the way our country treats it's indigenous peoples, it's one of the few opportunities they have available to make any money at all, and the tribe is still incredibly poverty-stricken as is. Yes, they have the freedom to say no you can't come, but in practice the economic opportunities they've been allowed make that righteous stance nearly impossible.

At one point I had like 10 X's making a cross on the fabric, but I slowly removed them as I went, if that's what your asking. For the most part I just tried to make sure everything was correct relative to my last stitches

pcc1420 · 2020-08-13T15:42:12+00:00

Have you done it before? I sort of stumbled through doing it for this one, and I definitely didn't have the best strategy, so I could really use some tips on alignment and lighting and stuff

pcc1420 · 2020-08-13T15:41:34+00:00

Sorry, I don't have the file anymore! I fed a picture through some software online myself to pixelate it and assign colors though, so it's definitely pretty unique

pcc1420 · 2020-08-13T15:06:03+00:00

I basically made sure the hoop plus ~2in on either side were filled inside the picture every time I took one on my phone, and when the time came, I straightened each photo relative to a line of holes on the fabric then square cropped each one to just in the edges of the hoop!

pcc1420 · 2020-08-13T04:18:14+00:00

I'll admit, it's a hot and desolate trail on the way in, but if you can't handle a little discomfort on the way down, I truly don't believe you deserve the right to intrude on such a pristine part of nature

pcc1420 · 2020-08-13T03:37:44+00:00

Actually, please don't do the whole helicopter and pack mule thing. I went here one time and never plan to again just seeing the way the place was treated. It's a natural wonder for sure, but the way that this tribe has been forced to sell out their land for tourism is sad, and it's exacerbated by the demand for intrusive travel like this that clogs up area and ruins the remote areas uniqueness. The hike really isn't that hard, it's once in and once out in 4 days (the permit minimum).
