After five years of near misses I finally made it to Flagstaff this week with hopes of hikes, airplane rides, shooting guns and drinking beers. So far I have done several of those things. I haven't yet rode in the airplane, and probably won't be able to due to yearly repairs. I haven't yet shot any guns, but that'll probably happen tomorrow. I did, however, drink plenty of beers and go on a great hike today.
E.E. Benson, his mom Anne, and I hiked to the top of Elden lookout on this marvelous spring day in Flagstaff. If not for the gale-force we experienced at the top it would be have been even better time. As it stands, though, the views were great, the hike was difficult, and the burger afterwords was passable. Here is a shot of the San Francisco mountains, just to the northwest of Flagstaff, from the top of the lookout.
And oh yeah, did I mention that I currently have a ginormous beard?
REALLY love the beard!
