Lodging and Guide Services For National Park Trips

I serve as webmaster for the Grand Circle Association, a nonprofit that promotes travel to the national parks and other attractions in SW Colorado, NW New Mexico, southern Utah and norther Arizona. Some incredible scenery is found in that area.

Members of the association operate lodges and resorts, guide services, information centers and other businesses in the area. I know these people; I've visited their hotels, motels and resorts and I've gone on many of their guided tours. I recommend them.

Paracord for hunting and fishing

I'm going to start posting again, trying to make this useful.

Lately I've been carrying 550 paracord in my gear bag and I find it useful for securing gear, making repairs and creating items for specific needs.

I get all of my 550 paracord from https://paracordgalaxy.com. I know the guys there. It is a small, family-owned business based in St. George, Utah, where I grew up. They have a huge variety of cord at the best prices around and their customer service is top notch.

I recently bought a good, used bass boat. In my initial check I notices several little things that needed attention but nothing serious. I think I got a great deal. The first time I launched it I was surprised to find that the boat trailer bunk boards were held on with paracord. The screws/bolts and fallen out and the previous owner just wrapped them in paracord to keep them in place.

That fix worked but I don't consider it a good long-term solution. I'm now installed new bunk boards using real bolts.

https://paracordgalaxy.com recently did an interesting contest to learn about real-world fixes - ways customers actually use paracord. The photo on this blog shows one of the winners. See all the results here: https://paracordgalaxy.com/content/21-paracord-uses.

Paracordgalaxy.com's latest promotion suggests camo paracord for hunting. They have a huge selection of camo cords to match any hunting situation.
