  9. azure sticking her tongue out
    I love her so damn much πŸ₯°

Today's hike had some incredible views, but it was a bit more work than we realized! Azure had done it before but she didn't remember it being as much climbing.

I didn't take a ton of pictures to start. But the trail followed along some ranches at the start. It was a really cool area that I would really love to spend more time exploring.

After a lot of climbing and finally reaching the top we enjoyed lunch handing out with some Bristlecone Pine trees. The one in my pictures is likely over 3000 years old judging by it's size.

I think next time we head out this way it may be with a tent!

I shaved my beard the other day! Do I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? Also yes!

It's seriously been about 10 years since I've fully shaved my beard. It was time to start fresh!

There’s been a lot of bird talk on #IndieWeb the past few days. So I was really excited today when I was able to get these pics on a walk with Azure earlier!

Look at that Roadrunner πŸ‘€πŸ•΅πŸͺΆ

  2. the turtle and the elephant
    This is one of Azure and I's favorite views.
  3. looking north
    The blue of the sky against the clouds was really pretty today!
  4. looking back south
    This is another favorite view of mine!
  5. sunset imminent
    It was really nice to sit here for a few minutes and enjoy the view near the end of my hike

Today's hike was meant to be a big one. Then Azure got really sick which was a huge bummer. And then we realized that if I didn't go for a hike today (even a small one) I'd fall behind on my goal of getting 40 hikes this year.

So I decided I'd go for a quick 45 minute hike. That turned into an almost 2 hour, five mile adventure lol. Enjoy some photos! Happy Valentines!
