After an early a.m. SoMo workout hike, it was off to Payson, where I knew I'd have time to fit in one more quick exercise. As I've done before, I decided on a quick out & back climb of the Rim on Colonel Devin. Temp was 92 at start. I was already walking pretty fast, when I started hearing approaching thunder. I just wanted to touch the top and get away from the edge before it got bad. So I pushed to the top and turned around. As quick as I could on that upper rocky section, then jogged all the way back to the TH. It rained, I got wet, it felt good. Shortly after I finished, blue skies appeared. Had I known it was going to be so mild, I would've enjoyed the downhill at a slower pace, oh well, I still had fun.
