Here's the list of natural hazards for the new guidebooks - thought some of you might enjoy it:
Natural Hazards
There are a multitude of natural hazards in Northern Arizona, and due care should be taken to stay alert of your surroundings and watch the weather. Hazards include, but may not limited to:
Lightning, heavy downpours, high winds, loose rock, dangerous scree slopes, flash floods, radical temperature changes, relentless sun, freezing canyons, abandoned mine shafts, yucca, cactus and other plant hazards, range cattle, coyotes, mountain lions, bears, falcons, rattlesnakes, bats, spiders, scorpions, bees and wasps.

I was stung the other day by bees here in Az. I got an excellent workout running downhill with the full pack, trying (a) to get the max distance between myself and the unseen hive, and (b) to do so in a casual, nonchalant manner, so as not to unduly upset the bees. I got away with a few stings, but was waiting for the full awarm to descend on me at any moment. I've seen giant swarms of Africanized bees blow across the cliff -- pretty spooky.
Erik, are you going to add Phonecian beta spewers to the list of objective hazards?
