The Arizona Trail, cacti, inside and out, climbing out of the low point, and new sunglasses… Maybe. Time to get rid of some stuff while I take a few days off trail for my birthday. Not where I planned on being, but it’s where I am. #AZT #sobo

What I thought was going to be one night walking across the desert mountains has turned into three nights. I’m hurting, my pack is too heavy, and it’s way too beautiful out here to hurry. #AZT #sobo
