EPIC Hike #2 (October)

Posted: 9/28/2003, 5:08 pm Post subject: EPIC Hike #2 (October)

The hike...
Superstition Ridgeline.

The stats...
10 Miles, 10 hours, 2820 ft elev. gain

The date....
Oct 25, 2003.

The plan....
Depart early from Carney Springs trailhead (we can either camp or just get there early)
follow ridgeline to Siphon Draw trail, descend, meet shuttle drivers.

Figured the next EPIC should be a bit closer to home, and this one has been on several people's lists for some time (including me).

Certainly all the members of the Arizona Hikers Swim Team are welcome to join in the fun, though I don't expect we'll hear "It's A Swimmer" on this one.

Kent might provide some additional info on the hike regarding its difficulty, he's doing it several times.

So....who's in?

Sid,

The epic hikers mentioned a "ridge runner" and I thought it might have been you.

Nah. Sid Hayes is just a myth. What's the matter with you girl?

In fact, Jim is his "begotten" son... well... Kent now falls into that category too. I'm convinced.

You shall burn in heck if you post anything that downplays my hikes/hike times. Or I'll just kill ya.

Ok?

IN THE BEGINNING.......there was Sid Hayes and the earth was void of hikers, backpackers, mountains and canyons. And Sid said: " Be mountains made" and mountains were made. And he called upon the mountains and said: "let there be canyons made unto these mountains" and canyons were made. Then he made two hikers in his image, JW63 & ArizonaHeat to lead other hikers for 40 years into the desert. We all rejoiced. AMEN. THE END

OK so this is the Readers Digest condensed version of the Hiker's Bible and my warped sense of humor coming out.

LOL I had to laugh too as I was typing it!
