"Ft. Pearce" W7A/NM-120 (3980) Pleasant Winter Hike

View of Arizona Strip from the summit

 One very nice thing about living in the desert is being able to go on nice hikes in the middle of winter and still have wonderful weather. This is a gradual hike which starts in Utah, but near the beginning you cross into Arizona. This 4-pointer doesn't have a name, but the trail is called Ft. Pearce, from an old fort at the base. It's perfect for a December hike.

Veyo Volcano W7U/WS-113 Back After Too Long a Break

A good go-to 1-pointer

With the heat of August in the desert, then school starting up again, I got busy and had the longest break away from SOTA since I started--it was over two and a half months since I had activated. It wasn't an on-purpose break, it just happened. This was really just "I have to get out there and get going again" activation. Thus one close to home and simple.

Prior to the more recent posts above, I had three years of activating in the Summits-on-the-Air program. Those write-ups can also be found at my website in large pdf's, one per year, which you can click below if you're so inclined:
