This past Saturday I went hiking in the Superstition Mountains. I hike the Siphon Draw trail up to a place called Flat Iron. Although this is one of the toughest hikes in the valley it is one of my favorites. The harder you work for something the more you appreciate it, right?

While I was on the trail I met these two guys visiting from Tennessee. They were really fun and we ended hiking together the rest of the day. They began telling me about some of the adventures they had been on and some of the extreme activities they enjoyed. One of them, Steven, told me about something he wanted to try that was like flying. You start by base jumping off a cliff or out of a helicopter etc. while wearing this contraption called a squirrel suit and a parachute. I found a video on You Tube of some guys doing this and it was pretty crazy. I thought some of you might enjoy seeing it so I attached the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ttz5oPpF1Js
I fear if my nephews ever see this, they will be talking me into taking them to New Zealand for our next vacation... I can see the headline in The New Zealand news "Woman's Heart Explodes In Mid Air".
