| no partners | | Since I blew off gym class Friday morning, due to the excuse of cold and rain, I gotta do a double this weekend. Before I left, I booked my trip to visit Cousin Wendy. We are going to Fredericksburg TX for wildflower season, as I suspect we won't be getting much here.
This is my warm-up hike for tomorrow's Shaw Butte Loop. The air was crisp with a nice breeze as I started up the hill to do my clockwise loop with a stop at Lookout Park. I did grab some very distant pictures of the snow on the Mazzies.
They're doing some sort of renovation at Lookout Park as it's also a workout park; may have to try that sometime. I headed back up the hill which seemed easy today. I continued on my loop. At the first south saddle I decided to take the upper trail where the bee/rattlesnake cave is since it's out of season. The trail is a tad dicey so you gotta pay attention a little. Didn't see anything in the small cave/alcove.
I finished off the route to Tonto. There was a hummer along the way so I tried to grab some photos which is always hard to do with the cellphone. There were a few hikers and dogs out and even a bikerider; that trail isn't easy for bikers.
WATCH: 3.66 mi, 3:37-4:57PM, 133 bpm/159 max (39% zone 5 max, 45% zone 4 anaerobic, 15% zone 3 aerobic) burning 553 calories, 1468-1714 elevation. Temp was an awesome 64.3, sunny, 34% humidity (felt it a bit too), 8.1 mph wind from WSW. |

For me, sometimes it's just as much about the journey as the destination.
Oh, and once in awhile, don't forget to look back at the trail you've traveled. |
