Going somewhere.
Just haven't decided where. Tomorrow, Saturday morning around 7am. I've got about 4 hours to burn and will hit something close to home. Supes...Goldfields, etc. Maybe peak out in the Supes, quick run over to LaBarge Box, Picketpost, Massacre Falls, maybe some off-trail exploration. Open for other ideas if anyone looking for an extra set of feet on the ground.
This is my gym. I have to travel down a bumpy road to get there. There are no treadmillls, no machines, and no personal trainers. I walk..I run..I breathe the fresh air. I can go any time I want, as much as I want and there is no membership fee.

Re: Going somewhere.
No offense, but I was hoping for a much more philosophical discussion.
Where are we going with all this hiking? Are we finding inner peace, greater turmoil, or just annoying those by having a, "keeping up with the Bartels", mindset of hiking? Does one's hiking bring greater enjoyment of life by finding peace, nature, and one's self, whilst being, "out there", or does our competitive and driven society force an instinct like approach to only find satisfaction from the achievement of goals?

Suddenly I feel empty inside.

@Rick Vincent
Well, I would go, but since you would still be Hiking alone, you would still feel empty inside.....
Maybe sometime if you're going more for a Photoshoot....

Maybe sometime if you're going more for a Photoshoot.... Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming, "Wow What a Ride!"

I'm not sure what my spirit animal is, but I'm confident it has rabies.

Re: Going somewhere.
Going Backwards. It is decided. Reverse Willow Springs Canyon. Butcher Jones at Saguaro Lake, kayak to mouth of Willow Springs Canyon and hike up the canyon.
This is my gym. I have to travel down a bumpy road to get there. There are no treadmillls, no machines, and no personal trainers. I walk..I run..I breathe the fresh air. I can go any time I want, as much as I want and there is no membership fee.

Re: Going somewhere.
Beautiful day for a paddle and hike. The canyon was mine alone for the 3 hours I was there.
