#mountainbike because it’s fun. And those #ironwood trees blooming! They’re tough, resilient, this one burnt & beat up. And blooms anyway for all it’s worth. #arizonatrails #exploreaz #mountainbikeaz #ig_arizona #instagramaz #arizonacollective https://www.instagram.com/p/COqYKoTHVzc/?igshid=11fwzvqqj55td

Some mornings my walk becomes an art stroll. The wind is the gallery curator, so the featured art is always fresh. . . . . . #sonorandesertsage #southwesternamericana #tracks #cuttingforsign #whoareyou #desertart #deserttrails #arizonatrails #tracksinthesand #takeawalk #sonoranstyle #arizona

Hiking Delay

In my last post, I talked about how I would be doing the “Deem/Circumference Trail” this morning - honoring the first hike of the new month on the first of the month. Things didn’t quite go as planned, sadly. I had set my alarm for 5am so that I may wake in time to make the 45 minutes drive to the trail head from Surprise. The alarm went off as usual but my body and my whirling head fought against any movement whatsoever. No amount of cupboard medicine would hold off any oncoming cold or flu - ultimately forcing myself to stay in bed and drink some green tea. Still not feeling well several hours later, the decision was made to stay at home today and not try to do too much. However, my hiking buddy has the day off work tomorrow so we decided to make a plan to still honor the “first of the month” with a hike at the same trail. As I’m writing this, I’m starting to feel any illness waning from my body: a great sign.

Looking forward to tomorrow morning’s hike at the “Deem/Circumference Trail”, if we don’t decide to hike the Arrowhead Point Trail.
