After a laid back day of shopping and exploring Obs (I’ll try and remember to do a post later about the neighborhood I’m living in—observatory) the next day we decided to venture out on another hike. A guy at a bar in Obs told us that we could walk to devil’s peak from our house so that’s what we set out to find. It took us a good little while of urban hiking and getting lost before we finally were on the right path. We hiked up to Rhode’s Memorial, which was pretty cool to see, with a good view—although I’m finding that as soon as you get a little bit higher than the buildings anywhere you get an amazing view—then went from there.
I thought this hike was a little tougher than Lion’s head. It was shorter but it was all stairs so it went straight up which was exhausting! I’m not used to doing a hour and a half on the stair climbers…but with all this hiking down here watch out…3 months from now these buns of steel are gonna be able to take you down! Finally we got up to this fort about ¾ of the way to the top of the peak and hung out there for a bit. The view was, again, incredible, but it was a little windy. I thought I had to be back by 1:30 to meet with Jon for my internship so we didn’t have time to make it to the peak but since we discovered how close it is to our house I’ll be making another trip up there soon hopefully!
A bunch of the VAC crew went out later that night. They usually have margarita Mondays at this Mexican restaurant in obs but they hadn’t renewed the reservation so we went to this place instead that had half priced cocktails and 2 for 1 pizza deals. Score.
