Its been a long time since I posted, only been doing flat walks around the valley and some short ventures into the local mountains.
I talked a buddy of over 30 years to do this hike I last did it when I was around 50.We did a little looking around for parking and could not get to the parking lot I thought was for the trail head, ended up at mining camp parking lot. I guess I should log on and read whats going on with parking it seems the lot has been sold.
We started a little late, around 0800, but it was nice there was a lot of shade going up.
Most people we saw were on there way down, they were smart for getting an early start.
This was a beast of a workout for middle 50s dude, but being up on the Flat Iron is the reward. I spent more time resting than moving, according to gps, but we were only out there for fun.
I will do it again when it is not 105.

I haven't been active the last 4 months and the test results at the doctor proved it so I thought I better get out and do something. Had lunch of nut/fruit buffet, a Teriyaki steak, and Camelback ale at the overlook. Just kidding it was trail mix, a orange, jerky and water from my back pack. Kind of cloudy today so it wasn't to bad working back into physical activity.

Daughter and son in law in town so we checked out the Vulture Mine. We paid the 10 bucks, got a tour map and went to hike. The main suggested trail around all the buildings is only about Three Quarters of a mile, but we wandered off exploring everywhere we could. Some buildings are now to deteriorated to go in. Some buildings had quite a bit of stuff laying around. If you pay for the map, when you return it is when they mention you can go to the Two school houses nearby, complete with playground and outhouse. Wanted to go up Vulture Peak since I was out Wickenburg way, but ran out of time.

Three of us met at the North trail head to hike the Goldmine trail. Talked to some members of a meet up group out doing the same. Seemed real clear today, with no problems seeing downtown Phoenix. Norton's corner in the QC after for adult beverage.

Went clockwise Bajada, National, Alta from the San Juan gate. I wanted to go clockwise, because the last time it seemed the Bajada never came to an end with ups and downs and in and outs. Not many other people out today, saw one guy twice going ccw.

Did this as a Pima wash, Mormon loop, National, and back down Pima wash.
First cool weather hike for me for along time, it was so much easier going up hill when it is about 35 degrees cooler than my summer hikes.

Just starting to check out the McDowell trail system.Parked at 104th steet lot and took the Quartz trail to the quartz chunk for a snack and back. I expected houses to be lining the entire way up the wash, but it wasn't to bad.

HAZ - Event
I put, this triplog under Picketpost Summit, but did not make all way up today. At around 3300ft, 1.5 miles up, I had to call it a day, take a rest and head down.On the way up I looked back when I was at the abandoned mine and saw another hiker coming up. It turned out to be the blur known as rlrjamy.The short time we were together he mentioned he had just done the Flatiron before this hike. :worthy: Very impressive, I could not keep up at all with his pace and kept scrambling. It was nice meeting you today for the short time I could see you.
This was an eye opener for me as the very first thing after logging in was to cancel being in the mother lode event coming up.

Did trail from the 7th st visitor center, went clockwise this time. I don't know but the uphill portions seemed "easier" this way. Ate a snack at Cloud Nine no reservations needed.
