Now that the group had made their initial hike, they were ready to up their game.
HHR: What was your next hike?
Joyce: Our next hike was Brin Mesa in the Coconino National Forest.
HHR: Any issues with beginning the hike?
Larry: We did have some issues getting Debbie in the car. She kept shouting “Debbie doesn’t do snow!”
Debbie: I think that you were mistaken. I just said “Oh, snow!” because I was so delighted that it had snowed.
HHR: Is it true that you wore so many layers of clothes that you had trouble getting in the car? Why did Larry only wear shorts? Were you trying to draw attention to the plight of the snow hiker?
Debbie: No, why are you here again? I just like the layered look.. Let’s move on.
HHR: What were some of the sights that you saw?
Jerry: We saw a sink hole and the Seven Sacred Pools.
Larry: Several people that we asked walked past the pools and never saw them.
Debbie: I used my phone to navigate to the pools. My children should be proud that all of the Google Map coaching paid off.
Joyce: The pools were not very big. We also saw a sink hole.
Larry: Debbie was afraid of the sinkhole.
Debbie: I was not afraid. I just didn’t want to look at a hole in the ground that sinks.
HHR: What route did you take?
Joyce: We hiked a loop. We went Brins Mesa, Soldier’s Pass to Cibola Trail and Bam! back to the car.
HHR: Sounds easy-peasy
Debbie: Well, we didn’t see you on the easy-peasy 6 mile hike now did we Hard Hitting Reporter?
