Gary, Dave, and Linda spent Friday planning hikes in Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and Zion. Later, Linda went for a short walk in the park and saw that it had poured rain earlier in the day. On Saturday, Karen, Dave, Gary, and Linda hiked up Daisy Mountain outside of Anthem, Arizona. They enjoyed views from the top of the mountain and had lunch before heading back down.

LINDA’S FASHION ADVICE FOR HIKING... IF YOU DO
NOT WANT TO LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE GAINED 50
POUNDS... DO NOT WEAR A JACKET THAT BILLOWS
AND STUFF THE POCKETS WITH YOUR HAT AND
GLOVES AND PUT YOUR CAMERA DOWN THE FRONT
WHEN YOUR PHOTO IS BEING TAKEN.
KAREN EXPECTED US TO BAG OUT ON THE
HIKING...SHE FORGOT WE ARE FROM SEATTLE.
GARY'S WEATHER KARMA WORKS FOR HIKING TOO!
