Hiking in the Superstition Mountains

Hiking! - Scott, Mandy, JD, Jason, Bud

Today was another beautiful Arizona day!!  While we were hiking yesterday I mentioned to Scott that we should plan a day hike with a bunch of our old hiking buddies for today and sure enough, most everyone was available. 

We did a 9 mile hike called the Black Mesa Loop.  The scenery was beautiful out there; I've forgotten just how nice it is to hike in the desert.  We were surrounded by mountains, red rocks, and many types of cacti.  I don't even think it broke 80 degrees while we were out there.  I think after hiking the trails in the Superstitions, the hike has sealed the deal with us staying in Phoenix for the winter!

After the hike we headed over to Shawn and Erin's for a BBQ.  Mike and the girls were there and we also got to see Claire!  What a fun night eating good food and hanging out with the best people!  If only the summer's weren't so hot then it would be easier to move back here full-time.
