It's nice to be able to get outside again and sit and enjoy the warming temperatures. It has been a couple weeks now since the winter weather chased us inside. As part of the activities we want to enjoy again, we are going to schedule a hike to the White Mountains and begin getting in shape again for the coming season. Also, we have a hike already scheduled for when Patty and her family come to visit over Spring Break at the end of March. Our plan is to climb the trail up the mountain in Yarnell to visit the site where the 19 firemen (Granite Mountain Hotshots) perished in the forest fire on June 30, 2013. That, as you may recall, was the subject of the movie "Only the Brave" which depicts the story of that tragedy. It is a seven mile hike, round trip, and we will need to be in great shape as the climb is fairly steep. Our first attempt last summer resulted in our turning around and giving up the attempt after about a mile as the heat was just too much for us.
We also plan to increase our activities at the rec center by playing more miniature golf and more use of the fitness equipment. We have a tentative schedule to play this Sunday with George and Cheryl at the miniature golf course following church services. As long as it takes its time getting to the 90's, we will be fine with the schedule we have in mind...
