	<description><![CDATA[My eighty-two year-old mom can be a bit forgetful, which is why she doesn't cook much anymore. She's unable to stand at the stove for more than a few minutes and, unfortunately, sometimes forgets she's got something on the burner or in the oven if she walks away and gets distracted. But I did give her a small, handheld timer for the rare occasions she does want to prepare something she can't or doesn't want to cook in the microwave. And one of those things is hard-boiled eggs. Unfortunately, mom fell asleep on the couch and didn't hear the timer ... which she'd forgotten on the kitchen counter next to the stove.So the water all boiled out of the pan, leaving six very hard-boiled eggs behind. And do you know what happened?Well, I told my Facebook friends how, when I stopped over my mom's house, I ended up having to clean egg off the ceiling. But can you believe, my friends doubted my integrity, implying that I'd EMBELLISHED about the exploding eggs? Hmpf! Sure, they said, eggs can explode in the microwave, but not out in the open in a pan when the water boils away.What do you think? Did I exaggerate to make my Facebook post more interesting? :) ]]></description>

	<source url="http://squidup.org/travel/hiking-red-mountain-near-flagstaff-arizona/"><![CDATA[Hiking Red Mountain Near Flagstaff, Arizona]]></source>
	<description><![CDATA[Located in the Coconino National Forest, twenty-five miles northwest of Flagstaff, you'll find a volcanic cinder cone called Red Mountain. Red Mountain is unusual in that it forms a U-shape rather than being symmetrical like most other cinder cones. On its northeast side is a large natural amphitheater with pillars or 'hoodoos,' formed by erosion and speckled with black crystals.The hike to Red Mountain is an easy one, but there's plenty to see and explore along the way and once you arrive at your destination. Stay a while. Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy while listening to the birds that make their homes in the little pockets in the red rock, which contrasts beautifully against the bright blue Northern Arizona sky and ever green ponderosa pine, pinion and juniper. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Smell like a star. Well, at least we can ASSUME these famous folks wear their own line of fragrances, right? I've sniffed and sampled many of these perfumes when passing through department stores and drugstores and finally settled on a favorite -- a Faith Hill fragrance -- and liked most of what I've squirted on my wrists. Now, if only wearing Faith's perfume could make me look like THAT.I'm afraid I haven't mastered the art of scratch-n-sniff website code, so you'll have to settle for the descriptions of these fragrances unless you've already squirted and sniffed them somewhere else. Or you can always assume that these famous faces wouldn't put their famous names on something stinky. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Hi, I'm Deb, a writer and Search & Rescue volunteer from Flagstaff, Arizona. I've been invited to spend three months in Nepal from May through July, 2010, to learn about the only rescue squad in the country and the many lives they've touched, so I can return home and write a book about them. Fifty percent of all book proceeds will be donated to the the Himalaya Rescue Dog Squad Nepal (HRDSN).In order to pay for my travel to, from, and within Nepal as well as equipment such as a laptop, a camera, and a voice recorder, and, after the trip, promotion of the book and the squad with slideshow events, I've set up a fundraising page on Kickstarter.com. In return for pledges, I'm offering various gifts, which you can see here and on Kickstarter.This is a project I'm very excited about. Here, let me tell you more about it.... ]]></description>

	<source url="http://squidup.org/travel/hiking-the-appalachian-trail-a-story-in-postcards/"><![CDATA[Hiking the Appalachian Trail: A Story in Postcards]]></source>
	<description><![CDATA[On a recent snowed-in lazy day, I plopped myself on the floor in front of my shelf full of scrapbooks and started flipping through some memories. Three of the scrapbooks contained keepsakes from my six-month Appalachian Trail thru-hike, including eighteen postcards I&#39;d mailed to my parents in Rhode Island as I walked north from Georgia to Maine. While I did keep a daily journal, which you can peruse on my Hiking Writer website if you&#39;d like, along with a sampling of the hundreds of photos I snapped along the way, I&#39;m so glad my folks hung onto these postcards. Postcards limit you, of course, to what you can squeeze into less than a 4x6-inch space, so you can wax poetic for only so long. Not that my postcards are poetic at all, but reading those snippets is a fun way to re-live an adventure years later. I hope you&#39;ll enjoy this postcard journey of my A.T. experience and some of the other random memories these pictorial keepsakes conjure up. ]]></description>

	<source url="http://squidup.org/home-garden/huevos-rancheros-breakfast-or-dinner-at-our-house/"><![CDATA[Huevos Rancheros: Breakfast (Or Dinner) At Our House]]></source>
	<description><![CDATA[Being a New England native without a south-of-the-border bone in my body, I&#39;d not heard of this dish until my mustached man, Steve, an Arizona boy, prepared it for me years after our first date. Since then, this classic Mexican meal has become a staple in our house, morning or evening, just about once a week. Huevos rancheros, meaning &quot;eggs country-style&quot; or &quot;eggs ranch-style&quot; in Spanish, was traditionally served as a mid-morning breakfast, or almuerzo, on rural farms. Nowadays, you can find huevos rancheros on restaurant menus all over the southwestern United States and even in other parts of the country. And the neat thing is, two cooks rarely make it look or taste exactly the same. Here, I&#39;ll share with you the way my husband makes huevos, with a little help from me, as well as some of the variations we&#39;ve found in our travels and on the web. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[There is SO much one could write about hiking in the Grand Canyon, but here I want to focus on hiking rim to rim, specifically using the popular &quot;Corridor&quot; trails. I usually do my rim to rim treks from south to north, so that&#39;s the order in which I&#39;ll present the information. While it&#39;s not responsible to advocate hiking rim to rim in a single day, it&#39;s something I&#39;ve done a number of times and will, therefore, mention it here. But I&#39;ve also done the same hike over a seven-day period and encourage all first-time Canyon hikers, or those who prefer to stop and smell the cactus flowers, to spend multiple days getting from one side of the Canyon to the other. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[If you&#39;re ever in my neck of the woods here in Northern Arizona, I encourage you to explore the many wonders of the Coconino National Forest. At 1.8 million acres with an elevation span of 10,000 feet, the Coconino is one of the most diverse National Forests in the country. Its vistas range from cactus-filled canyons to rolling grassland and snow-capped peaks. Why not enjoy at least a day exploring the desert red rocks of Sedona, then drive an hour &quot;uphill&quot; to spend the night in Flagstaff, where you can start out bright and early for a hike to the 12,633-foot summit of Mt. Humphreys and experience the alpine tundra. The wildlife of the Coconino National Forest, dominated by the majestic Ponderosa pine, is as diverse as the scenery. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[On September 25th, 2000, I completed a six-month journey from one end of the Appalachian Trail to the other, a 2,200-mile walk from Georgia to Maine otherwise known as a thru-hike. Along the way, I embarked on another type of journey, a creative adventure which led to my first published novel, called I. Joseph Kellerman; although, the story has nothing to do with backpacking or the trail I was on when I wrote the first draft. Usually writing at night while lying in my tent, I&#39;d hold my flashlight in my mouth (shoulda had a headlamp ... duh!) so I could scribble with one hand and prop my head up with the other. I had to put down on paper all the creative thoughts and silent dialogue I&#39;d conjured up while hiking each day. One of the most valuable and lightest-weight things I brought with me on my thru-hike was my imagination.  ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[As a long-distance backpacker with an Appalachian Trail thru-hike under my feet and many other treks on my ever-growing &quot;trails to walk&quot; bucket list, I love reading about the footpaths of the world, especially those that ramble on for hundreds, even thousands, of miles. Seeing and experiencing life on foot is a passion of mine that percolated during my college years while hiking New Hampshire&#39;s White Mountains at every opportunity, and bubbled to the surface with a vengeance about a decade later. To me, there&#39;s nothing better than wearing out the soles of my hiking boots on long and sometimes rugged paths.  ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[When some folks hear "Arizona," they think sunshine, desert and year-round heat. Well, yes on the first two but a definite no on the third. Up here in Flagstaff at an elevation of 7,000 feet, with the San Francisco Peaks as high as 12,633 feet, we get a full-fledged winter. In fact, Flagstaff receives an average yearly snowfall of 110 inches. But that doesn't mean our small city or the great outdoors that surround it shut down for the season, which is often marked by vibrant blue skies above the many activities that go on here when the mercury drops. In fact, winter time is a great time to visit Flagstaff. The following is some of the winter fun you can look forward to in this city surrounded by National Forest.  ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[To be honest, I don't know why I'm writing this, publicly announcing things that scare me. What's the point, really? Writing about my fears won't make them go away, and neither has the fact that I've faced them all on many occasions.But most of us tend to express our fears with our friends, family and even strangers. Maybe there's comfort in knowing we aren't the only ones.There's also comfort in being understood. I've often been helped--emotionally, psychologically, and even sometimes physically--by telling those around me that I'm afraid and finding out that they don't think I'm "just being silly."So, you want to know what scares me? Okay, well, since you asked.... ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Until a friend of mine invited me to tag along on a hiking trip in northern Arizona and southern Utah, I&#39;d never heard of The Wave. But I realized when we got there that I&#39;d definitely seen photos of this amazing formation, now an internationally known and very popular site. Which is why daily visitation has been limited by the Bureau of Land Management, to help prevent damage, crowding, and overuse of the area.If you are willing to take your chances with the permit process, which I&#39;ll describe below, and are able to hike six, mostly easy to moderately difficult miles in desert terrain, I highly recommend a visit to The Wave. Here, I&#39;ll show you some photos from my hike, describe the route, the terrain, and a little of the geological history of the area, and tell you how to get there once you&#39;ve obtained your permit. ]]></description>
