22 runners headed up on top of Observatory Mesa on a beautiful fall like morning. Several had to put on an extra shirt just to keep warm! Most actually ran the 10.7 mile long around the A-1 Mountain Meadow. Afterwards we returned to the Seasoned Kitchen to wind down with Tony's lates. Download today's photos.

Humphrey's Trail Conditions

A lot of questions this week about the Humphrey's Trail. Read the article that appeared in the Daily Sun after Memorial Day Weekend. Looking for elevation? Run Weatherford to Doyle Saddle for at least another week.

Sacred Mountain Prayer Run

A record turnout at the Sacred Mountain Prayer Run!

Soulstice Sprint Course

Memorial Day brought out a near record group of 30 runners. We were also joined by the Flagstaff Luna Moms! For the first time since I can remember, the creek along the Sunset Trail was flowing with water. There were also some foot deep snow drifts that will likely last well into June! Dropping into "not so" Dry Lake Hills we encountered a dry lake filled with water and ducks! Even the trip down Little Gnarly had the sound of trickling water! We then packed the Seasoned Kitchen with a standing room only crowd and enjoyed Tony's coffees.

Run for the Mountain Race - Soldiers Trail

A windy wild race at Fort Tuthill with record crowds!

Waterline Road

11 runners headed up the waterline road. We are still awaiting a full report from anyone who ran!

Schultz Creek to Fort Valley Trail System

18 runners including Sara's friends from Seattle made several Schultz Creek crossings before turning onto the Fort Valley Trail Systems. A small faction diverted over to the double loop trail. As Weintraub, Lurie and the Axlers wandered about the trails for what seemed like 40 years, the defectors realized they would have to part the waters of Schultz Creek to find the promised land of Caleb's backyard. Once back at Caleb's we all enjoyed post run bagels and home made flat bread pizzas in his famous oven. Caleb cooked up original pizzas such as "Pizza Terra" conisting of roasted fennel, pinon, and rosemary on top of drizzled olive oil and the "Sweet Tooth" made from honey, roasted figs, ricotta and rosemary.

Special thanks to Caleb for hosting today's great post-run pizza party. Cheers, Neil W.
