Joined Linda for a mid morning hike at South Mountain. Flew in last night so I was dragging a little. Wait, that's my normal :D ! Signs of the rain storm were evident. Some ruts here and there and occasional standing water. A little water running in the tunnel and in Lower Pima wash. Linda was able to spot a little "quick sand" and showed me were it was. :D :scared: Pima wash trail had signs of a foot or two flow recently. The pavement work on the drive in and the parking lot seemed to be done. New top and paint.
It was great to get a hike in with Linda and catch up. :y: Like HAZ, she rocks!

I walked around town and such. They had a business pumpkin contest or something. I did not find them all but thought I would post the ones I did. In case you wanted ideas or to pick the one you like best! :D :y:

This was my second day doing an out and back sample size of this hike. More cool houses and landscape with a variety of shore path footing :). It was another enjoyable outing and fun to do something a little different. :D :y:

We were in Wisconsin for a visit. This hike around Geneva Lake peaked my interest and wasn't far from Burlington where we would be visiting. It turned out I would not have time for the 21 miles around the lake. Instead I did a couple sample out and backs in hopes of doing the whole hike on our next visit. A lot of interesting history in the area from Native Americans to Wealthy Chicagoans and such. I thought it was cool that even with the big homes and properties they agreed to leave a hiking path around the whole lake.
I seemed to be between the peak summer activities and a little early for the Fall colors. The footing changed a little from property to property as each owner was responsible for their own section. I enjoyed my sample size hikes and it was fun to pick out my favorite house and landscapes for a pretend summer home. It was an enjoyable outing and it still has me wanting to do the complete trail next time! :D :y:

Wally came over and joined me for a South Mountain hike. We did Mormon loop along with Hidden Valley. Instead of Pima road we took Pima wash at the end. They definitely got some rain in those storms and the trail was chewed up in a couple places. The wash looked like it got some flow. Would have like to have seen that. Trails were still in pretty good shape. With an early start the temps weren’t too bad when we finished around 8:30. The road going in and parking lot have been getting resurfaced since the weekend and they are still working on it. You could park in lot but not on road. Always great to get a hike in with Wally! Like HAZ, he rocks!!

I got a chance to hike with Bruce between his jet setting across the land! 😊 Hit the trail around sunrise 🌞. The trail definitely got some rain and could use a tad bit of love. The hike, weather, and company was great and it was good to catch up with The Eagle! You all know ,like HAZ, he rocks!

Wally joined me for a stroll around the Arboretum this morning. Looking pretty dry. Not much blooming. Still plenty to see and enjoy exploring all the little trails! Wally was good luck and pointed out a few Javelina , Coatimundi and a cool woodpecker.
Thanks for joining me Wally! Like HAZ, you rock!

Woke up early so I went over to South Mountain for a sweat fest. Took the road up and the wash back. I had cloud cover for most of the hike. Almost sweated enough to get Pima wash running!! 😜
I was glad to get a hike in! 😁👏👍

Wally and I hit the trail a little before 8am. Temps were a little cool. 👏 Biggest climb I’ve done in awhile. Trail was a mixture of rocky sections, root sections , steep sections, and smooth sections. So , the normal! 😜 Was pretty windy up top! Wally said if the wind caught his hat and blew him away he would see me at the bottom! I thought he was kidding but he flew down the mountain and I just saw a glimpse of him here and there! 😱😂
We saw one couple on the way up and 3 people on the way down! Nice to get in a northern hike with Wally! Thanks, my friend!
Like HAZ, you rock!
