So I'm rounding the corner on completing my 6 week engagement for my client DHL in Scottsdale, AZ. While I've been here in the desert I've done and planned many cool things. I always like to experiance new cities and states but this trip a lot has been on my mind, relationships, life, business (mostly my company and what to do next). To help clear my mind I have stepped things up quite a bit, daily workouts, running, swimming, rock climbing, hiking, back packing. So far I have done Pinnacle Peak, Cambelback Mountain (twice!) and upcomming treks to Weavers' Needle, Picacho peak (crazy mountain with cables around the corners because there is only a 1 foot ledge then a 2,000ft drop off!). All these "warm ups" are to build up to the end of my trip here, the Grand Canyon! I'm not going to the visitor lookout points to take some pictures then drive back, I'm hiking down into the canyon. Its over 4,000 ft drop in elevation over 9.5 miles. I'm camping two nights inside the canyon, one next to the Colorado river, the second a few hours up. I can't wait for this trek, I'm in great shape and feel ready. Stay tuned, I should have some insane pictures in two weeks!
