Cosmic Ray Books: Hiking Arizona

I was introduced to his books when I bought one for $3 at the Goodwill in Sedona, Arizona.  We did a few of the hikes the next day, and I really wish there were more guides and nonfiction books written and illustrated like the books by Cosmic Ray.  They are informative and entertaining field guides and curious looking coffee table books for planning the next PRO FUN TOUR hiking and camping trip.

Hiking at Tonto Natural Bridge State Park in Payson

 Early Log Cabin at Zane Grey Museum in Payson, Arizona.  The museum was near a small city fishing pond, where we watched someone catch a trout on a fly rod setup.

 Not much room for a family with nine children.

 Hiking at Tonto Natural Bridge State Park
Tonto Natural Bridge is a natural arch in Arizona, United States, that is believed to be the largest natural travertine bridge in the world. The area surrounding the bridge has been made into a state park called Tonto Natural Bridge State Park, which is located off State Route 87, just 10 miles north of Payson. Wikipedia

Cold Water Surfing Video

Nordurland Arctic Surfing: https://vimeo.com/328347906



Nordurland is a film about going surfing in the harsh, cold waters of the North Atlantic. It follows three friends from the subtropical northern rivers of NSW Australia, surfers Torren Martyn and Laurie Towner, as well as needessentials founder and designer Ryan Scanlon. They travel to isolated, snow covered coastlines in search of remote waves and Filmmaker Ishka Folkwell, beautifully captures these vast and stunning landscapes on screen. With an original soundtrack composed for the film by Headland, glaciers, mountains and powerful icy surf all come to life in this adventure to the far north. Torren Martyn's narration throughout the film offers a personal reflection on the trip and a real glimpse into the challenges and rewards of traveling to frozen, distant lands in search of surf.



I found this video and I always find a great deal of inspiration, from Lloyd Kahn's Blog
