met john at geronimo at 0445
at buena vista lookout, headed west, then took holbert to dobbins lookout
on the return, went up to harvester benchmark and east to hook back up with national
we disagree on whether we've done this exact combo before (no)
good hike
not many people out
thanks, john

Good workout loop with Daniela. Up Telegraph, east on National. North on Holbert, with a side trip to Dobbins. Down Holbert, the new reroute at the bottom is kind of blah. Walked across the parking lot and hopped onto Lomitas, up Kiwanis, then finished on Telegraph. Didn’t see many people. Had a good amount of shade for the first half. Warm coming up Kiwanis. Barely hit double digit mileage.

met john at 0645 at geronimo
john suggested we check out the helicopter pad above buena vista lookout
dobbins and gila lookouts were due in the rotation, although the exact combo was up for discussion until hitting the holbert turnoff
dobbins first, then gila valley
saw very few people until returning on geronimo
perfect temps
good coffee
thanks john :)

Geronimo start then we added the lookouts as we hiked. Decisive group. Holbert/Dobbins was deserted save one car. Cool and quiet for a nice Sunday morning. Thanks Kelly. :)

Not too shabby of a hike completed three weeks post appendectomy. Well organized, fun romp but likely one and done for this circuit. I was happy to have Kriket along for company on summits 2, 4 & 7. Dreamy Draw start sixteenth of 104 finishers. 8:55:44 total time.

met john at holbert at 0545
i knew there was something being changed there, but not the extent of it
the ramadas and bathrooms are gone
the trail has been rerouted along the north side of the construction zone and onto the road that leads to the water tank
looks permanent - and not an improvement
will have to research what the city is doing with that space
we hit dobbins lookout and gila lookout and returned on holbert
nice enough morning, decent hike
thanks, lp!

Kelly suggested this addition to the south mountain senior summer series.
Seemed a hair dryer than it has been (pun intended).
Old Man turns you into an old man. Good workout.
Nice outing. Thanks Kelly. :)

The chuckies were active within Hidden Valley and along sections of the Mormon Trail, as well as a large, nonaggressive bee swarm on a ledge at the south side of the tunnel. Because of the extreme heat, completed solo without Dese as an out and back because silly shuttles are for the Fossil Fuels Rule! cult.
