What a weekend! I feel like I was non-stop busy, but it was so fun. Actually, I lied. Friday night I had Which Wich for dinner and watched The Dead Files and cross stitch. Not exactly thrilling, but exactly what I wanted. I got up early on Saturday to hike Vulture Peak, a mountain near Wickenburg. You can see it from pretty far away, and it looks kind of ominous. But the whole hike is only a little over 6 miles, and it wasn't too difficult. The last 200 feet up the mountain is a scramble, and the hike description made it sound really intense, but it was no big deal. There were a few things that were really cool about this hike. I saw this big guy moseying down the trail. He was furry and almost as big as my hand. It was my first summit. How ridiculous is that? All the hiking I've done, and I've never actually gotten to a summit and signed the register. It felt pretty nice, especially doing it alone. Kind of empowering. (The box at the summit) Next on my
