Arizona Report #2

A night hike.  I  thought it ought to be interesting, gather at 6:30pm well after the sun had gone  down.  When I arrived, there were dozens of cars parked along the road and I  soon discovered this trail, which goes up to an observatory, is a popular night  hike for the U of A crowd.  Actually, rather than a trail it is a paved road and  pretty steep too, 3 miles round trip. 
  
The views of the  city lights and a full moon were fantastic all the way to the top.  However,  what made this especially interesting were the six people who made up our  group. It didn't take long for me to befriend one guy who used to be a door man  at a popular bar.  He had lots of good stories to tell from his five years, including being the point person for recruiting women for the Friday wet
T-shirt  contests!  What a great guy. One of our group works with Kendal Jackson winery!!!!!!  Gosh, there is no one nearly so interesting riding around the central Ohio pelotons.  Anyway, a fun time and followed on a quick 25 mile bike ride up to Catalina earlier in the day so a good day.  Friday was a work day but  then Saturday, the famous Tucson Shootout ride.
