Dan and I stayed at the camper Sunday, wanted to do one last cleaning for Steph's grandparents. He had to work Monday so I headed out to Lost Dutchman State Park for a hike. Ended up doing Siphon Draw Trail, went up to the basin. Roughly ~5 miles total. I didn't do it but you can go up another mile farther to the Flat Iron, 2,000 ft gain in ONE mile, takes 3 hours. Super sketchy, rocks falling everyone. I decided I would rather live and needed gloves and more water.

the flat iron in the middle is the last part of the hike, another day... |

very sweaty |

healthy hiking food |
I just had junk food in the camper, so I stopped by a bait shop near the park entrance. Bag of jerky and 3 freshly picked tangerines (not pictured) for $6, not too bad!

Then I biked to the grocery store back in Scottsdale, triathlon? Great weekend, just trying to keep myself busy to help stop thinking about Steph so much :)
