I'm sitting on my lazy gimpy butt right now with not much else to do but DREAM about hiking so I've set myself up with a glorious plan.

January 1st is a Tuesday, and we all know how much I love hiking late on weekdays

After work on this fateful Tuesday I'll set out for the Supes and galavant to the top of Flat Iron to ring in the New Year, hopefully watch the sun set and the barely less than Full Moon rise and to celebrate the restored strength of my right foot.
What better way than a short, leisurely stroll up Flat Iron?!

I do hope you'll join me, I can't imagine the trail will have many people on it...on a Tuesday afternoon/evening/night...plus this little Hippy shouldn't hike the Supes alone...I might never come back to the city.

Edit: Green type! :whistle:

You forgot about the hip! But if you need a good Sports medicine doctor I know just the guy

@Trishness I might need to get his number after I tarzan swing up that hip next year, we all know it's gonna happen.

by the way, I'll know the schedule next week so I'll be able to tell you when we're headin' out.

Talked to the boss today, I'll be working until 4pm on new year's day. Love me a New Year's Night hike up a beast of a trail.
I'll be leaving straight from work, I can pick up anyone in downtown phx or tempe on my way out.
If you're not in the Suby with me then we'll meet at that mining camp restaurant around 525pm and start from there...soooo, who's in?

Don't forget to bring lights, even with our Full Moon we'll need our lights on the way down at least

I just did Flatiron a few weeks back for the first time at night. It was pretty fun except for the excruciating slow pace on the way down. I was actually thinking about camping out on it New Years Eve; if I don't count me in for this one.

good to see a new face, meet us at the trail head that day, you'll be in for a treat.

i cant make it for the hike got gilt triped into haveing dinner with cousin who are comeing in from out of town

No worries, I gotta cancel this bad boy anyway.
Not enough interest and I'm not going out there alone in the dark. Plus I gotta pick up my daugther from BFE after work now.
Oh well, another time. sorry.

I'll be hitting up Flatiron one of those two days for anyone who is interested in tagging along!

If I could do it in daylight I'd be there, but I can't trust my still-recovering-ankle in the dark yet, I learned that last night
