The Top of Arizona

Today I hiked to the top of Arizona! I hiked Humphrey's Peak with some of the GTA's and the GTA coordinator. It's only about 4.8 miles one way, but it is tough! You climb over 3000 feet and the elevation at the top is 12,633. It is the tallest point in Arizona. It took about 3.5 hours to get to the summit and another 2 or so hours to get down. We had the best weather. It was only a little windy and visibility was so good we could see the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

We got a group photo at the top (there were 9 of us) but I don't have a copy of it. If I can get one, I'll post it later. In the mean time, here are the pictures I took:

It's possible to make a grilled cheese using only a spork

So the only kitchen utensil I have right now is a titanium spork that John gave me, but I'm pretty sure it's all I'll ever need!

Step 1: Get everything out


 Step 2: Butter the bread


Step 3: Cut the cheese (no pun intended) 

  
look at those perfect slices!


 Step 4: Flip


Step 5: Transfer to plate 


Step 6: It's not a grilled cheese if it's not cut in half! 



Step 7: Wash spork & chow down! 

There you have it, it is possible to make a grilled cheese (using block cheese) using only a spork.
