We concluded this leg of Hike-about 5 with two late afternoon rock-scrambling sessions and a hot Monday morning hike of 6.5 miles. Southern Utah and Northern Arizona are spectacular; we believe some of the photographs only ‘touch’ upon the magnificence. On many occasions, we think we should have better cameras in order to capture the scenes more appropriately. Then we realize it would slow us down in other endeavors. Besides, one needs the professional touch. Life, of course, is full of trade-offs. In the meantime, we are most fortunate to be enjoying this thrilling adventure.
This last three weeks has been an incredible experience, once again. To those who continue to show support and give encouragement, you make us feel even more fortunate and motivated. We thank you kindly, as always.
