| no partners | | Had a late breakfast at Waffle House with M&M & family, then drove here after. First we parked below the "A" and took a few photos of the city and of the "A". Then, we drove around to the parking area on the West side of the mountain and walked the trails. Mauro & Marcia joined me on this super easy walk. It was their first time there and Mauro did fine, even though he was having some foot pain from a ladder fall a few days ago!
We made it to the top of Sentinel Peak and took some photos. I hiked down to the top of the "A" and took a photo. I got stung in the forehead by a bee , probably a guard bee. As soon as I felt the sting I crushed the bee with my fingers and killed it. If the chums didn't sting me, he would have lived. There were a few other bees swarming around me after that so I got the hell out of there. There must have been a small hive in that area which I did not see.
We hiked back down and did a driving tour through Downtown and U of A area.
