Chapter 49 in Tucson, AZ: 1/24/26-1/28/26

 Chapter 49 has been great so far.   Special thanks to the Hometown Hairstons that welcomed me and my hiking buddy on Saturday.  Three days of hiking bliss and beautiful scenery. 

If you make it out to Tucson for hiking,  I highly recommend the 7 Falls Trail at Sabino Canyon Recreation, Tanque Verde Falls ( not even sure which trail because we were all over the place), & the Sendero-Esperanza to Gould Mine Trail at Saguaro National Park (part of the King Canyon Trail).

The pics and vids do no justice for the true beauty!

San Fransico, CA 1/16/26-1/18/26

 In an effort to pre-game for my birthday trip, Elaine & I headed to San Francisco for the first time.  The main purpose was to hike Mt. Tamalpais, but also catch the Golden Gate Bridge.  Mission accomplished!

I shouldn't be allowed around ketchup b/c it always ends up on me somehow!
