Walk to Piestewa Peak...

in #walkwithme7 years ago

So today I decided to go for a hike again today there's a park about 20 minutes away.. a place called Piestewa Peak.. let's head out that way..

The key to a good hike is preparation.. notice the adequate hiking flip- flops... I've generated more grip and friction by adding socks.. also notice the lack of any type of water bottle... Coffee... tea... any type of liquid refreshment..

@chackett has a thing for wearing socks and flip flops too. 😂😂

Lol. It's a man thing.

better than being some uptight fashion nazi. ☺

It’s a weird thing! Lol

Are you threatening me!? My bungole will not wait!

The only thing more "I don't give a fuck" than flip flops and socks, is hiking in flip flops and socks.
Gangster.

You caught some amazing shots in your photo's today. Gotta love your flip flops and socks. Unless I'm going for a very long walk I have to admit I prefer my flip flops as well. Comfort....

The desert landscape is by far my favorite. I bet it was peaceful out there. My wife and I actually went to Phoenix back in October.

Very peaceful.. very quiet considering it was in Phoenix.. I went out towards Gila Bend this morning shooting pics of sunrise.. that was exceptionally peaceful

Pie and stew all in one place? Nice!

But seriously I'm fascinated by the desert. I was in Phoenix quite some time ago but my host forbade me from going for a hike... I'm kicking myself for not going... I just would have carried 2 gallons of h20 and a good walking staff.

Can you name all the cactuses out there sir dave which ones to eat and or drink from

No... please enlighten us oh bearded one

Do I have to give credance to the source from which I found it ? Such as google

yeah, flip flops are not the best for hiking in AZ ... Hopefully the "jumping cactus" did not get you !

Hi, dave. This is a really dry walk with all the cactus. Where do you live dave? Anyways, great landscapes and upvoted!

Nice hike! Why am I not surprised you'd go hiking in the desert with flip flops and no water. lol. Looks like a really cool area. Love all the cacti photos.

Dave!!! This is the best! I am in plant nerd heaven over here! Those cactus are freaking amazing....I need to see those in person someday. That park is really cool with the carins. I love your hiking gear...pretty badass going supply-less haha! I am glad you made it back!! #livinontheedge!

I love cacti too.. and rock cairns

My feet would be so stuck with cactus if that's all I was wearing! It's nice ot see the Ocotillo in bloom, with their red flowers. Enjoy the cool weather -- it will heat up before too long!

I wish it was hotter.. I gotta go back to Denver tomorrow where they got snow yesterday
