Three years ago, I typed my first words into a free wordpress account. In a cliche, it seems so long ago, but also to have passed in only a blink of an eye. Although, Arizona Wanderings started as a personal journal of my fly fishing and hunting adventures here in Arizona, it has grown into something much cooler than I ever could have imagined. I have met some great people, fished in some unbelievable places, and hopefully helped a couple people along the way.
In honor of the three year mark, t-shirts in the Arizona Wanderings Shop will be on sale for the next week. The Original Arizona Wanderings Shirt is on sale for $10 while the I “Fish” and “Quail” AZ shirts are on sale for $12. Pick one up in the Arizona Wanderings Shop while supplies last,

Check out some of my favorite pictures from the past couple years:
I do want to extend a heartfelt thanks to all those who interact on AZW as well as those who have picked up a few flies or a t-shirt. Your support keeps me going. Thanks again.

Congrats on the 3-year mark, Ben!! I can affirm the “hopefully helped a couple people along the way”, because I’m one of them!! Here’s to many more years of AZW!!!
Thanks Zach. Looking forward to fishing with you again someday soon. Did you get your vice?
Ben
🙂 Not yet…holding off til Christmas…Can’t wait to start tying…
Nice.
I think fly fishing is his vice ;).
Happy “birthday!” As new reader, I gotta say, there’s a ton of great stuff in your archives. Looks like 3 years of time well-spent.
Thanks Corey. It’s fun to look back on where I’ve fished and hunted. I couldn’t have been happier with the past three years.

Happy Birthday Arizona Wanderings!
Ben, You have done a great job with this blog. It has a huge amount of great information written in an entertaining fashion, and some of the best photography I have seen on a blog yet.
Thanks Ricky. I appreciate the kind words.
Ben
Nice, dude. I know we have talked about it, but lets get out and fish for real sometime.
Alex. Thanks dude. I agree. It’s time.
Ben
ah-ite. is it selfish to hope for three more years?
I’ve enjoyed reading your rambles. keep up the good work.
Thanks Mike. That’s high praise from you. And it’s not selfish at all. I’ll get you three more years. Maybe even with a little bamboo once I roll some scratch together. Thanks for your support.
