Yesterday I drove down the mountain to Scottsdale and picked up my eldest son. I am going to give him my motorcycle but he needs to learn how to drive it first. So I took him to where the old drive in theater was and showed him how it is done. . I think I may have been reading to much LitRPG the last few weeks or fantasy in general all my life beacuse When the old guy on the scooter came over with his sage advice I was expecting him to give us a quest. But anyway here is some video of my boy on my bike doing his first few laps.

Then on my way home I stopped at one of my favorite trail heads and did a quick 2 1/2 mile hike. It is just over one mile up and one down extremely steep.

It is almost rock climbing instead of hiking, but the reason I love it so much is the view from the top. You can see how close the road is but so far below that kind of puts it in perspective.

But here is a video of me going down the trail a year ago so you can see how steep it is. I apologize in advance for my belly bouncing around I didn’t realize I was filming and it was hot. I had climbed to the top in the dark so I could take some sunrise photos and less then an hour after sunrise it was already about 110 degrees.But I am proud to say that belly is no longer there

Here are a few more photos of I have take on that trail in the past
