| no partners | | OK, got drawn into a hike that I normally like to avoid, the Flat Iron. I love the trip up to 5024, once you clear the that last climb to the Flat Iron, but the hike in general and especially Flat Iron has become so busy across the past 25 years that you might as well be on, well.. a couple of extremely popular urban Phoenix hikes. (Yes I know, spoken like a true old codger!) In any case, a very good, lifelong friend asked me to go with his wife and 2 of her hiking friends, as he felt she'd be safer if I was along. (He'd never done the hike so didn't know what it might involve) All three ladies were pretty solid on the hike itself but.... they talked NON-STOP and took a break every 10 min for "selfies" .. (And, they all love to hang off the edge of cliffs for photos... NOT my thing!) I ended up in a bunch of photos with them but hate to have my photo posted so.... I only have one I will post and it's only because I'm pretty small in it, on the trip back down...and waiting... |
