This post has nothing to do with the process of building a restaurant, but hey – its a holiday. Chrissy and I hike at South Mountain park every day. Needless to say it is difficult during the summer, but the 4th of July presents a special challenge; The park closes its parking lot gate to all visitors. Unless you happen to drive a motorcycle which can squeeze around the parking grate. Its cool to have thousands of acres to yourself and overlook a city of millions at the same time. Sometimes we find a lookout and look down on a half dozen fireworks displays at once. This year we just did a sunset hike.
