This last week, I hiked up Telegraph Pass. This hike was a little over 4 miles with an almost 1300 feet of elevation gain, all in the last half mile. Man! It was steep!
The destination in the distance.
It started off up a rocky valley.
A ... what chu mu call it.
Lots of trails to explore.
Just about to start the steep part. Anyone need to lighten their load?
This is a concrete type road for the service vehicles.
Up, up, up.
This was one steep road!
Yuma, way down there.
Great views at the top.
And lots of cell towers.
A box with a log book inside.
A selfie, with the 'I Made It!' book.
What a climb.
Pretty neat up here. I used to do the service work on this stuff.
Heading down. Looking back at the peak.
On another day, Donna and I explored the old historic part of Yuma, old town.
Besides the quaint little shops, I was surprised to see so many pubs.
It was a kinda neat place to visit.
On the 16th of December, we finished a thing that we had started back on January 1st. We finished reading all the way through the Bible together. This most popular book through-out the ages, that everyone is familiar with, how many people have read it's entirety? I think this is my 6th time through. I had a late start in the faith. We have a copy of the audio Bible on a couple of DVDs and play it as we follow along, stopping whenever we want to discuss something. We tried to read 6 chapters a day, but couldn't really stick to that. But, we finished! A good feeling.
Time to pack it all up and prepare to move along.
I guess I had better wake up the cats.....
Merry Christmas!
What an incredible hike! Safe travels and have fun in Las Vegas.
