| partners | | Wow!  There is no way for me to write this day up in a standard Triplog....Even for a two mile Hike, it would be pages long....  If I had never set foot on a Trail on this day, I would have still been exhausted from all of the laughing, OMG!!! So here's something different in a sort of Summary form.... 
On the fun, but serious side....
Driving through a dense "Fog" of Smoke on I-40 at 6:00 A.M. (From a Prescribed Burn)
Lots of Deer - Small herd next to the Road on the way in, and a Doe with Triplets, on the way out. 
Aspen Colors 
Oak Colors
Perfect Weather
Nice Trail
Cool Rock Outcrop with a shin busting Rock Face....  And Killer views.... 
Nice Scenic Driving
Good Food
Good Company
Incredible Humor
And all within a day's drive.... 
On the fun, and hilarious side....
Turbo Sunrise 
Discombobulated Coot that came tumbling down the Mountain and landed at my feet...Only to turn and try to use the Road to take off...Only problem was...Joe was in the middle of the Runway with his Tripod.... I seriously thought there would be a collision, and the look on Joe's face, as he tried to swing his Camera and Tripod around to get a picture, was priceless... (No pictures were taken in the process of gaping at this MAD DUCK...)
25 lbs of Camera Gear
Dry Grapes
The "Alphabet Sentence/Song"
200 Photos (Mine) on a 1 1/2 mile Hike... 
Guessing which direction your Hiking Partner has gone... 
Beating Cheeks up 800 feet and 2 miles of Trail, with 25 lbs of Camera Gear, because your Hiking Partner guessed wrong....
An Orange Pack
Scaring the pumpkin out of an innocent Hiker...
Getting harrassed for getting back to the Car so late...
Thick Mental Fog settling in at the I-40/89 Junction. Joe's subtle hints weren't enough, we were halfway to Kingman before the "Light" came on....
Very fast, slightly illegal U-turn in the middle of I-40... 
Very interesting, hilarious "Lake"....
Missing Girl Scout Party Spot
Parking in Jerome
For those of you that may not know what a Coot is, check it out here, and click on the Label...http://hikearizona.com/photo.php?ZIP=240559 It lives in Water and doesn't do well getting airborne. There was no Water anywhere near us, so it was really bizarre and Joe aborted the poor Bird's valiant attempt to "take off"....
Joe, it was Epic. Thank God it wasn't the kind of Trek with any kind of Mileage or Gain, I'd never made it, with all of the Humor going on, planned and unplanned. By doing the Triplog this way, you may be able to recycle some of those insane one-liners you were throwing at me all day, holy cow!!!  Although..., a Hammer to the Head would have been more appropriate on I-40, instead of the subtle, slightly sarcastic hints that were sailing way over my head...
I'll join you for a Hike/Photography Session any day. The Entertainment value alone, was worth twice the money spent on Gas....  |
