| no partners | | Probably should have done this first rather than Lookout Circumference yesterday. But, I got 'er done. Lots of people out as I mostly kept my head down on the climb. I did have to stop a couple times to rest; something I normally don't have to do. It was a relatively nice day temperature-wise, but I missed Mother Nature's breeze to keep me comfortable.
Instead of going to the top at the intersection, I opted to go down and back up the paved hill; not sure that was the best choice. As I got half way down the hill, I gave myself the choice of going over to the other towers and down around the backside, rather than back up the hill... or back up the hill and down the way I came....  .... back up the hill and the way I came. Once again, normally I don't have to stop on the hill but I stopped four times. I am hoping it's just because I'm still a little out of shape.
On the way back down I was able to test out the zoom on the phone to get pictures of the snow on the Four Peaks and Mount Ord. I just wish I could figure out a way to hold the phone more steady on those zooms; but I did get some decent photos. I zig zagged down the hills as I remember the last time, my shins hurt pretty bad and thot this would help. I took the Dam route to finish off my hike back to Tonto 3 where a Blueberry Wheat beer was waiting for me. It's a great motivator for that last mile  .

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. |
