The reporting partystated that they saw a- body lying across the trail, and did not approach. At 1932 hours, Ranger Brian Densmore and Paramedic Josh Weiner responded to the area via foot. They were able to confirm that the subject was deceased due to obvious decomposition. At the scene they located the reported body in close proximity to the social trail. While investigating the area, they located a second body, 100 - 200' south/above the first body. Both bodies appeared to be in the same state of decomposition, and had trauma associated with a fall from the rim. Due to darkness and steep terrain, responders left the area with plans to return the following morning. This was done in consultation with the Coconino County Medical Examiner's Office. On October 02, 2018 at 0900 hours a team of investigators and SAR technicians traveled to the area on foot. ISB Special Agents Oakes, Hardin, and Confer and Rangers Barton and Baird completed a crime scene investigation, and packaged the bodies in body bags and a helicopter net. After concluding the investigation at 1600 hours, rain, fog, and low clouds prevented the flying of aircraft for extraction. Rescuers hiked out, and the bodies remained at the location over night and a plan was made to return in the morning during better weather conditions. Incident Command was transferred from L. Hodgson to R. McDonald­ O'Lear. On October 03, 2018 at 1000 hrs, a briefing was conducted at South Rim Helibase. Helicopter Crewmember J. Sarabia hiked into the site to hook the sling lo;:id. Helicopter SPA extracted the bodies via longline and transported them to the South Rim Helibase. At 1100 hours, the bodies were transported toStation 1, and left in the custody of SA Oakes. The bodies were picked up by the Coconino County Medical Examiner's Office. At 1200 hours, Unmanned Areaial System (UAS) operators Eric Graff, and Brian Hakansan responded to Second Trailview. They conducted a UAS search of the fall line above the recovery site. All times are approximate. End Report. -- N(1t1u11.-1I r-->,u k St·r vie,: ,....- .:.....:�:-.:...

  • Digital Detox in the National Parks A
    Digital Detox in the National Parks A ‘Hot Spot’ Here is a Place with a Campfire Special 4th Graders Visit Park Free Packages for 2016 PHANTOM RANCH, THE BOTTOM OF THE GRAND CANYON – May 4, 2016 – Whether you are deep in the Grand Canyon at Phantom Ranch or perched on the South Rim at one of the historic lodges, the night sky is so dark that it’s easy to imagine yourself in another time – a time when the first people roamed the canyon 12,000 years ago. And they did not have iPhones, tablets or WiFi. The only “hot spot” was a fire if they were lucky enough to have one. The Grand Canyon, like so many national parks, is a place to get as close as you can to getting off the grid, to exhale, to experience the rejuvenating powers of nature, to step away and let nature dictate your schedule. That's why it's a perfect place to embrace a “digital detox” and go offline and savor the connections – to family, to nature, to deep reflection – that come with turning off the phone, leaving the laptop at home, and being unavailable to everyone but your sentient companions. At a time when the average American spends more than half of his or her waking life staring at a screen, this is more important than ever. Here are five national parks (and one value-driven kids program to many of the national parks) where you can replace the beeps, vibrations, rings and dings of the digital life with the call of the wild (which is usually, very quiet and peaceful).

  • Linen, Section 2, G to Indians
    Arizona, Linen Radio Cards Post Card Collection Section 2—G to Indians-Apache By Al Ring LINEN ERA (1930-1945 (1960?) New American printing processes allowed printing on postcards with a high rag content. This was a marked improvement over the “White Border” postcard. The rag content also gave these postcards a textured “feel”. They were also cheaper to produce and allowed the use of bright dyes for image coloring. They proved to be extremely popular with roadside establishments seeking cheap advertising. Linen postcards document every step along the way of the building of America’s highway infra-structure. Most notable among the early linen publishers was the firm of Curt Teich. The majority of linen postcard production ended around 1939 with the advent of the color “chrome” postcard. However, a few linen firms (mainly southern) published until well into the late 50s. Real photo publishers of black & white images continued to have success. Faster reproducing equipment and lowering costs led to an explosion of real photo mass produced postcards. Once again a war interfered with the postcard industry (WWII). During the war, shortages and a need for military personnel forced many postcard companies to reprint older views WHEN printing material was available. Photos at 43%.

  • Bright Angel Trail
    National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Grand Canyon Grand Canyon National Park Arizona Bright Angel Trail The Bright Angel Trail is considered the park’s premier hiking trail. Well maintained, graded for stock, with regular drinking water and covered rest-houses, it is without question the safest trail in Grand Canyon National Park. There is a ranger station located at the trail’s halfway point (Indian Garden) and one at the bottom of the canyon (Bright Angel Campground). Visitors hiking for the first time at Grand Canyon often use this trail in conjunction with the South Kaibab Trail. Particularly during hot weather, it makes sense to ascend via the Bright Angel Trail because of potable water, regular shade and emergency phones. Following a natural break in the cliffs formed by the massive Bright Angel Fault, today’s Bright Angel Trail approximates a route used for millennia by the many Native American groups that have called the Grand Canyon home. Early western pioneers at the canyon first built a trail in 1891 to reach mining claims established below the rim at Indian Garden. Recognizing that the true worth of the claims would be measured in visitation by tourists, these pioneers immediately registered their trail as a toll road and extended the trail to the river. The mining claims and use of the trail as a toll road would be the source of much controversy, first in legal battles with railroad companies that wanted to control tourism and later with the federal government. The trail was turned over to the National Park Service in 1928.

After years of experiments, syn- thetic Rutile is now available in facet cut brilliants. This magnificent substance has been given the name of "TITANIA."
