Local Link of the Day

About six weeks ago, I had an email from my daughter, telling me about the absolutely yummy apples she had picked up from ground under some trees while heading on a hike up the West Fork of Oak Creek. She reported that the apple tasted like apples are supposed to taste, full of flavor instead of fluff. Tonight she sent me a link to a NAU site concerned with preserving the long-gone varieties of apples and nuts still growing in the orchard at Slide Rock. Students have even started saplings from cuttings. All I can say is three cheers for NAU.
