Trail Groove Issue 14

Posted onMarch 31, 2014December 28, 2016AuthorPaul Mags1 Comment

The latest issue of Trail Groove is out. In this issue are two articles I wrote.

Trail Groove Issue 14 is out and I am again fortunate to write some articles for this magazine I am a big fan of.

I again wrote an article on trail news. And another one on shoulder season backpacking.

Lots of other great articles in this issue. Check it out!

We spent a longer weekend camping, seeing friends, looking at fantastic panels, and performing volunteer work with SHPO to help mark the easement through private land.
...
As part of the volunteer work, we met the family that many of the area's landmarks were named after. Gracious hosts and many great stories shared.

A quick float across the Colorado River to show @ramblinghemlock a canyon I last saw nine years ago. Still a serene and beautiful canyon with only the calls of the canyon wrens for company.

Three nights out makes for an enjoyable weekend. We did our volunteer work and saw some familiar sites and places new to us.
...
Some fierce winds brought much dust; according to NOAA, some lows in the mid-20s as well. The calendar said April, but the weather said otherwise.
..
As long as we live in this area, we'll always encounter nooks and crannies new to us.
..
(The last photo shows how we sometimes find sites: Walking around, seeing what looks promising from a high point with binoculars, and then navigating towards what we see.)

Long term review – Flat Stone Cooking Platform (

Long term review – Flat Stone Cooking Platform (FSCP)

A treasured item I’ve used for a decade now is the Flat Stone Cooking Platform (FSCP).

Made of the latest proprietary manufacturing materials, the FSCP is suitable for any situation that requires setting a stove on the surface and then boiling water.

The flatness, convenient shape, and ease of use make this piece of kit a MUST-HAVE for my outdoor jaunts.

With the fire danger now found throughout the American West, it ensures a stable and fireproof platform to make mac’ cheese, heat water for the rum and cider course, and perhaps some last-minute fondue delights (I’ve never actually done this backpacking, but we could!).

Earlier versions proved heavy but durable. Newer versions, made of dynamic composite material, create a platform nearly as strong but even lighter.

The few times I forget to pack the FSCP, Joan reminds me of my folly, and heating up hot water becomes more difficult.

And, somewhere, Smokey the Bear shakes his head at my negligence.

So, consider packing a FSCP. Can’t find one? I’m sure REI will gladly sell you one for a great deal!
