Adventure 828: Day 51/Tucson/2023

Good day for an impromptu adventure with the Kral's. We decided to take a two hour hike up Pima Canyon. It was a scouting trip for us since the trail head is so close. The hike, which starts among very high value homes, provides scenic views of Tucson as well as a steady climb to higher elevations. We went as afar as the creek bed, probably one third of the way to the top. The climb out of the creek bed looked to be steadily up, rocky, and classically rugged. It would be a good hike on a full day. Preparations would be paramount. In other news, I ended the month $.34 cents ahead of the Wiley Cager. She'll have to spring for the chocolate eclair very soon. Tonight we're expecting strong winds, cold temperatures, a possibility of snow, and at the very least quite a bit of precipitation. We'll see what tomorrow brings. In other house keeping news, our realtors made a preliminary walk through of our house in Spokane, and it seems like the first number in our sale price will be a seven. That makes us happy. In not so happy news, our land lady in this house in Tucson will be selling out after our stay next year which means we'll have to find another place suited to our needs. Such is life, which is good, especially today.

This was our turn around spot today. It's all up hill from here.

The trail meanders up to that big bump in the distance.

Here we are descending to the water. What goes down must go up.

I picked up a thorn in the front right tire, which afforded me a trip to the Discount Tire Store. While I waited, I enjoyed a small strawberry delight.

This evening from our patio. Weather building in the distance.

Look at this hiker babe go!
