Today, our last day on the trail, until our next day on the trail, ended up being a wonderful experience. Aren’t they all? It is not easy keeping up with our editor. Eight miles of wondering up and back a rugged set of granite mountains in Prescott is not everyone’s ‘cup of tea’, I suppose. Then I wonder why not? The views were gorgeous and climbing on the rocks, a favorite pastime for us, was exciting. We probably did miss something in our childhood. We’re glad. In some ways, we wish we had missed other things too so we can pursue them now as new activities. Mom, did we have a sandpit and swing?
We enjoyed Prescott. It seems to be a well-established small city, maintained in pristine condition. It is also the home of our favorite radio station, KALM. It is nestled in…guess what…mountain ranges. After a good eight-miler at a fast pace, we arrived at our car later than expected because the hike was longer than indicated by the ‘experts’. Then we made the dash to Yuma, AZ, a very hot town--it was about 100 degrees at 10pm. But as they say it is a dry heat, whatever that means.
A good night’s sleep followed by a three-hour drive to San Diego and the first leg of Hike-a-Bout was over. We’re back and excited to see our children, grandchild and friends. However, we are already missing the…. Will be back on the trails towards the end of July. This time California, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Switzerland, Israel and more....
