problem is sweet, all of the outdoorsy things aren't exactly accessible from where i live. the desert botanical garden is a good 30-45 min drive (on freeways) from here, the boyce thompson arboretum is about an hour and a half (again, by freeway), and piestewa peak about 20-30 mins drive. public transportation in phx. is poorly structured and generally unsafe.
as long as she doesn't have to work state fair set up tuesday morning, mel has said she would be more than happy to pick you up and take you hiking someplace, though she does not recommend piestewa peak due to the difficulty of the climb, and its tendency to be v. v. crowded with people trying to make it and not so much doing so. i hate to be horrid and discouraging, but i wasn't kidding when i warned you about how i would be working the first 2 days, and you'd be stuck at my house, and how bad i felt about it, and how you said that was fine because you expected to sleep most of the first 2 days.
