Today was a big day for the four. A big hike was planned. The HR will check in with our team.
HHR: What are the four of you going to do today?
Larry: Well, we have been training for this day.
Joyce: We are hiking to Devil’s Bridge.
Debbie: We couldn’t park at the closest parking lot because the lot can only be reached by a four wheel drive. We had to park at another entrance. We have a van.
HHR: Was it a hard hike?
Jerry: The last part is a steep hike up to the largest natural stone arch in the Sedona area.
Debbie: Jerry meant to say, yes, it was very hard.
HHR: Did you get to the bridge?
Debbie: Heck, no! I was freaked out at the scramble. I was not going to stand on a little piece of rock called a bridge. Plus people were posing on the bridge.
Larry: I was ready to pose but Debbie just couldn’t get the shot.
HHR: Debbie, is it true that you abandoned the group?
Debbie: No, I didn’t abandon the group. I accidentally got with a younger group that was traveling up the scramble a bit faster. I didn’t realize that it wasn’t my group until I got to the top of the scramble. Then I yelled down instructions to them.
HHR: How was the hike back?
Larry: Well, we got separated for awhile and everyone just met back up at the 4 wheel drive parking lot. I had to whistle to locate Debbie.
Debbie: I was busy giving stink eyes to people doing donuts in the 4 wheel parking lot when I heard the whistle.
HHR: How did the rest of the hike go?
Debbie: We extended the hike.
Joyce: Don’t you mean that we got lost?
HHR: Lost? I thought you four were master hikers?
Larry: Well, we wanted to provide a real life example of hiker safety for our readers.
Jerry: We missed the sign to turn off to the parking lot.
HHR: How did you discover that you were on the wrong trail?
Larry: Well after about 30 minutes or so, we started discussing that we didn’t recognize anything. We turned around and raced back down the trail. There were no people on the trail and it was getting dark soon..
Debbie: We finally saw the sign and two ladies going back to our parking lot.
Larry: We followed them but think that we might have creeped them out as they kept going faster and faster.
Debbie: We hope that all the readers appreciate what we did for them. Our tips are to always follow the signs and for a long hike take an alternate route. We ended up going 10 miles that day.
HHR: Alternate route as in get lost?
Debbie: Imagine, me giving you, HHR, a stink eye.

Starts out easy

See the tiny people at the top. We are going there. 
The trail is becoming moderate 
I think I can, I think I can 
On the way to the summit 
I am going to follow those other people 
I don’t want to go to the summit 
If that guy did it then we can too

There are tiny people posing on top of the bridge 
This is why Debbie doesn’t pose

See how hard it looks 
I made it down and am still standing.

Do you recognize any of this? 
These signs are very important especially “To Parking”
