Not a Tucson Photo

This photo is one that I took in northern Indiana, back in 2002.
Big day today, as all of them seem to be. The hiking club hiked up in the Catalinas today, for the first time this season. The Hardy Hikers did the Soldier's Trail. It was a fun and beautiful hike, but there was serious up on the way back.

After the hike, we were to drive down to the picnic area and have our end-of-season picnic. Wind would have picked the food right off our plates, however, so there was a change of plans. We all drove back to town and the picnic was presented in the Fiesta Room. The food was great and the conversation was good.

After that, we returned home where I peeled 10 lbs of carrots and 10 lbs of onions. Tomorrow, these will join 6 heads of cabbage and 6 chunks of corned beef in 6 crockpots!

Tonight, we went to dinner with Robert and Mike at McGraw's on Houghton just south of Escalante. We all agreed that, once they got Jack's steak *rare*, the food was great, though the restaurant itself a little "earthy." The guys are getting set to head back to Colorado.

Yep... people are starting to migrate to the cooler climes. Not us yet, though!
