Climbing to the top

It was a great climb. I lucked out this morning because I got to Lolo early but he only wanted a 10 minute neighborhood walk. So I made a cup of tea to go in my Yeti cup, peeled some Mineola Tangelo's to go in a plastic bag, popped a piece of dark chocolate in my mouth, grabbed a water bottle and set out for the Phoenix Preserve. I got to walk new territory. That was great because it was good for cardio but did not kill my knee. And so pretty! But it sure is heating up later in the day. What a good day though.

Extras are of what you need in the desert when you hike and all the crowns on the Saguaro cacti.
