I want to share a local restaurant with everyone that is becoming a legend here in town. The place is Pizzeria Bianco and it's pizza is one many lists of the "Best Pizza in America". Chris Bianco still makes every pizza himself. The place is small and folks wait up to 4 hours for a table since Pizzeria Bianco does not ...take reservations. If you have the time while you are in town, get in line early for a table and enjoy.

Hey Trent,

Sounds good! We are still busy with trips until Thanksgiving but after that we finally slow down. Let's plan for then.

Just Roughin' It I was checking out the Travel section of the Arizona Republic and I found this short article on photo tips. It has some really useful tips about composition which is the one of the most important aspects of taking great photos. Ray

Rob Barlow Thanks for the great 4 day Rim to Rim. It exceeded our expectations, by far. Melinda commented that this was the best vacation she has ever had, and we've had many. Hope to see you again.

Hi Rob,

Thank you very much for a great trip as well! Even if it weren't for couples hanging out in the toilet for 20+ minute increments, it was still an unforgettable trip!

Take care,... Read More

Hi Nancy,

Havauspai is a beautiful place. It is a true oasis in the desert with amazing waterfalls. Have a great trip!

Just Roughin' It I'm back from a four day Rim to Rim tour of the canyon. The weather was awesome and the guests we're a real pleasure to be with. (I know it sounds corny but it's true.) We even saw two baby diamondback rattlesnakes at Plateau Point on our last night! I have few days in town before I head down the Hermit Trail with another group of guests. I'm looking forward to getting back down there. Ray

Hi Beckie,

I wish I could lead your trip too but I have a real challenging tour to lead on the Tanner trail and Escalante Route 2 days later. You are in very capable hands with Russ. I'm sure you'll like him as well. Have great trip! By the way, the rattlers are only about a foot long each and the trip that followed me across the canyon didn't see them at all.

Hi Stephani,

I will definitely keep posting updates. Let me know if there is something in particular you want to see. I may have a photo of it to post. Thanks.

Just Roughin' It I am really disappointed right now. One of our first guests ever called us to do another trip and we had no openings for him and his family. I wish I had something for them. I hate having to tell valued guests to plan ahead for follow up trips but it's becoming necessary. If you aren't able to plan in advance, I will do everything in my power to get a tour for you but I can't make any guarantees. Ray

Just Roughin' It I'm getting excited, Ken Burns documentary on our national parks airs on Sunday the 27th. Go figure, I scheduled myself to lead a tour from the 26th to th 29th but I should be able to see 4 of the 6 episodes. I wish I had TIVO.

If the series is as good as Burns' other work, the DVD might be worth the investment!

Just Roughin' It Debbie and I stayed at La Posada back in July and we fell in love with the place. Designed by noted architect Mary Colter, it's been restored back to the charm it had in the 1930's. Check it out if you are ever in Winslow AZ. Stand on the corner there while you are at it.
