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%.

    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).

    Like Water for Water - the Over-Forty Trip Down the Colorado a More Serious, Hardcore, and Reflective Trip Compared to That at Thirty-Two…

    Like Water for Water - The Over-Forty Trip Down the Colorado A more serious, hardcore, and reflective trip compared to that at thirty-two… Left to Right: (top) views from South Rim, Nankoweap; (middle) Little Colorado, Unkar Delta sunset, 75-mile slot canyon; (bottom) edgy trail to Thunder River/Falls, first epiphany in Kanab Canyon, muddy and wet creek-slogging boots Introduction While traveling through Norway in too much style but with insufficient action this June, I knowingly longed for this trip - albeit with the equally knowing sense that I anticipated I would need to remind myself how much I wanted a more authentic wilderness experience when things - no doubt - became difficult or uncomfortable. Indeed, revisiting the Colorado almost ten years after my first trip was more challenging - although I did intentionally choose a longer and more difficult format trip. Ever since my first rafting trip down the Colorado, I knew I would repeat it; in fact, it remains a personal goal of mine to go down the Colorado at least once during every decade of my life - largely because I do appreciate how humbling the experience is at all levels (i.e. I don't think I would like myself as a person if I found myself unwilling to sustain this kind of serious camping). Given what was some unsatisfying stuff my first time (some of which I mildly alluded to in that report), I knew my second time had to be different. Said first trip, booked with OARS two years in advance, was supposed to have been a longer trip with a stronger hiking emphasis; unfortunately, OARS' permit situation evolved over the course of those two years - to the point that the ultimate, corresponding permit dates OARS received represented only a thirteen-day trip.

The original study employed 1945 as a cut-off date. This study inventories and evaluates all of the pre-1964 vehicular bridges and grade separations currently maintained in ADOT’s Structure Inventory and Appraisal [SI&A] listing. It includes all structures of all struc- tural types in current use on the state, county and city road systems. Additionally it includes bridges on selected federal lands (e.g., National Forests, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base) that have been included in the SI&A list. Generally not included are railroad bridges other than highway underpasses; structures maintained by federal agencies (e.g., National Park Service) other than those included in the SI&A; structures in private ownership; and structures that have been dismantled or permanently closed to vehicular traffic. There are exceptions to this, however, and several abandoned and/or privately owned structures of particular impor- tance have been included at the discretion of the consultant. The bridges included in this Inventory have not been evaluated as parts of larger road structures or historic highway districts, although they are clearly integral parts of larger highway resources.

Het wordt beschouwd als een van de zeven wereldwonderen der natuur. Miljoenen jaren geleden werd hier een deel van de aardkorst omhooggedrukt; daardoor ontstond het Colorado Plateau waar de Grand Canyon nu een onderdeel van is. De Colorado River heeft zich gedurende de laatste 6 miljoen jaar een weg gebaand door de rotslagen van het Colorado Plateau, waarbij het gesteente steeds verder werd (en nog steeds wordt) weggeslepen. Omdat elke rotslaag weer uit een ander soort gesteente bestaat, zijn de effecten van de kracht van het water overal verschillend. Hierdoor is een gecompliceerd stelsel van diepe, grillig gevormde ravijnen ontstaan. Behalve het water van de Colorado River hebben ook andere eroderende krachten, zoals vorst en de wind, veel invloed gehad. Het Nationale Park wordt door de kloof in twee helften verdeeld, die hemelsbreed maar 16 kilometer van elkaar zijn verwijderd. Maar als je met de auto van de zuidzijde (de South Rim) naar de noordzijde (de North Rim) wilt rijden, dan moet je een afstand van maar liefst 315 kilometer afleggen! Je kan de Grand Canyon bekijken vanaf de verschillende uitkijkpunten aan zowel de South Rim als de North Rim. Dit is vooral erg mooi als de zon opkomt of ondergaat, je ziet dan de prachtige kleuren in de ravijnwanden, die veroorzaakt worden door de aanwezigheid van mineralen.
