I may be setting a "jump around" record for blog posts this year. We've hit some super-busy (non-writing) spells, which I'm excited to report about eventually. Some of the busy stuff was simply a bunch of training while we were in beautiful places.
Like Arizona! We made good use of our time there earlier this year. Here are some "catch up" photos.
A couple excellent training hikes near Sedona with Taylor, Andrew, and Basil in April:
The view north from Wilson Mountain, looking toward the San Francisco Peaks on the horizon:
On another day, climbing up toward Sterling Pass in the same area:
Sedona scenery always makes me smile:
Checking out Vultee Arch, an interesting and less-visited feature:
Thank you Andrew for taking care of some trail work!
Basil also attempting to "help"
Getting in a bit of trail running amid all the climbing training:
Local fauna:
Having a great day with friends:
One of my first in-person Rivian sightings, this one at the public charging station in Flagstaff. So curious about it, as we were about to get our own just like it! Must be patient.
Taylor and Basil joined us in May for a super-neat hike up the side of Humphrey's Peak to the site of an old plane crash. Wow, we had no idea just how many plane parts are still up there!
We wandered up and down the hillside checking it all out:
Quite the curious thing to see, worth the detour from the main trail:
Inspecting various pieces to decipher what they were:
That one's fairly obvious:
And finally, a June run in Sedona with John, always finding different things to take pictures of:
Such a photogenic place:
Cathedral Rock, which John climbed up to while I did a longer loop around it:
Can't argue with this for a training ground:
Thank you Arizona!
