Back in the saddle, so to speak. First hike in the season. Tomorrow, climbing to 9,000+, and I’m sure my 900 foot lungs will love it.

Airing out the Eurovan for a trip to Arizona to hike the Grand Canyon.

Des Moines
 |
Well, we're back in Des Moines and I was jonesin' for a hike. I really had no choice but to simply go for a walk instead. So, I walked across town to my sister's, at Beatnik Urban Farm No. 1. Got to walk through the sculpture park downtown, and past Sec Taylor Ballpark (I refuse to use the corporate name), where I discovered how much time is left until the Cubs' first pitch.
