  • Southwest Places to Visit Or
    Places to Visit or Collect in the Southwestern United States Places to Visit or Collect in the Southwestern United States By Thomas Farley Revision 002, September 26th, 2019. (Version 001 was incorrectly labeled October 1, 2019) https://www.patreon.com/writingrockhound (more good stuff!) [email protected] (comments, corrections, and additions wanted!) These are places I visited or were recommended to me while traveling in the Southwest for my book. I mostly visited rock related places and ground open to collecting. Weather wise, October may be the best time to travel the Southwest, followed by May. It is impractical to visit every place you want to go because day after day you will find certain stores, mines, and museums closed. Traveling Monday through Thursday is especially tough, my advice is to prospect or collect on those days and then try to visit businesses and museums closer to the weekend. You will have to return to the Southwest to visit places closed on your first travel. I envy you. German motorcyclist balancing on the Four Corners Monument 1 By Thomas Farley: https://www.patreon.com/writingrockhound Arizona (and one exception in Utah) James Mitchell’s Gem Trails of Arizona is dated but essential. Anyone traveling extensively off-pavement in Arizona should get an Arizona State Trust Land Permit. $15.00 for an individual. Rockhounding on Arizona State Trust Land is prohibited but stopping at any point on these lands constitutes a “use” and that use demands a permit. Determining where these properties exists while driving is impractical, most are managed grazing land outside of small towns or settlements.

  • 2020 Wildfire Season: an Overview Southwestern US JULY 2021 Intermountain West Frequent-Fire Forest Restoration
    2020 Wildfire Season: An Overview Southwestern US JULY 2021 Intermountain West Frequent-fire Forest Restoration Ecological restoration is a practice that seeks to heal degraded ecosystems by reestablishing native species, structural characteristics, and ecological processes. The Society for Ecological Restoration International defines ecological restoration as “an intentional activity that initiates or accelerates the recovery of an ecosystem with respect to its health, integrity and sustainability….Restoration attempts to return an ecosystem to its historic trajectory” (Society for Ecological Restoration International Science & Policy Working Group 2004). Most frequent-fire forests throughout the Intermountain West have been degraded during the last 150 years. Many of these forests are now dominated by unnaturally dense thickets of small trees, and lack their once diverse understory of grasses, sedges, and forbs. Forests in this condition are highly susceptible to damaging, stand-replacing fires and increased insect and disease epidemics. Restoration of these forests centers on reintroducing frequent, low-severity surface fires—often after thinning dense stands— and reestablishing productive understory plant communities. The Ecological Restoration Institute at Northern Arizona University is a pioneer in researching, implementing, and monitoring ecological restoration of frequent-fire forests of the Intermountain West. By allowing natural processes, such as low-severity fire, to resume self-sustaining patterns, we hope to reestablish healthy forests that provide ecosystem services, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities. The Southwest Fire Science Consortium (SWFSC) is a way for managers, scientists, and policy makers to interact and share science. SWFSC’s goal is to see the best available science used to make management decisions and scientists working on the questions managers need answered.

  • Firefighters Gain Ground on 800-Acre Mangum Fire
    United States Department of Agriculture Kaibab National Forest Public Information: (928) 643-7395 [email protected] Press Desk: (928) 635-8314 [email protected] News Release Firefighters gain ground on 800-acre Mangum Fire FREDONIA, Ariz., June 10, 2020 — Firefighters were able to gain ground yesterday on the 800-acre Mangum Fire due to less windy conditions and the arrival of additional fire resources. Crews successfully began establishing potential boundaries to the wildfire's future growth along the eastern, northern and western perimeters. Today, firefighters plan to conduct burnout operations and establish dozer line to the north of the wildfire along Forest Road 769 as well as scouting for opportunities to construct hand line in key locations. Fire managers have identified areas that have been treated in the recent past with prescribed fire or other forest restoration treatments as potential locations to catch the growing wildfire. The Kaibab National Forest has completed a significant number of fuels reduction and forest health projects near the Mangum Fire area in recent years, which should aid in the firefighting effort. A Type 2 Incident Management Team will assume command of the Mangum Fire at 6 p.m. today. The Mangum Fire is located about 9 miles southwest of Jacob Lake and 16 miles north of the boundary with the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park. MANGUM FIRE OVERVIEW • Discovery Date: June 8, 2020 • Cause: Under investigation • Percent Contained: 0 • Location (point of origin): 36.251 latitude, -112.144 longitude.

  • Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument Visitor Use Reporting Plan
    Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument Visitor Use Reporting Plan May 2005 Draft General Overview Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument (GCPNM), a unit of the National Landscape Conservation System, was designated by Presidential Proclamation on January 11, 2000. Located in the northwest corner of Arizona, the monument is 1,054,308 acres in size. It is jointly managed by the BLM and the National Park Service (NPS), with approximately 800,000 acres of BLM land and 200,000 acres of Lake Mead National Recreation Area (NPS). The overall purpose of the GCPNM Visitor Use Reporting Plan is to provide instructions for collecting, interpreting, and reporting data and professional estimates of visitor use for the national monument. Valid visitor use data in correlation with regular resource monitoring will enable land managers to work proactively to address impacts resulting from visitor use. These instructions are effective on the date of approval by the Monument Manager and will remain in effect until this VURP is amended. Goal Develop a comprehensive, standardized system to collect visitor use data which provides valid information for current and future management decisions related to human/resource interaction on the AZ Strip. Objectives 1. Document the process, assumptions, and techniques that will be used to estimate and record visitor use for the area. 2. Create a standard set of forms, non-RMiS database and related formulas, that can be extrapolated into RMiS thereby restructuring the current RMiS. 3. Provide measurement tools for managing remoteness and protecting the monument objects and resources. 4. Provide management with framework for evaluating conditions and recommendations for management action.
