Water, you know it’s good when it’s growing green, horses, desert, a much needed foot soak, and no rain fly on the tent, because I fell asleep before I could put it on #AZT #sobo

Phone Battery Dead, No Food, Holes in My Shoes
Not enough cell phone battery to make it to Patagonia, backup battery is only giving one charge and it’s dead, time for the solar panel. Fingers crossed Shoes are breaking down too, inserts worn through and soles as thin as paper. Out of food because I have no portion control and ate everything the first […]
Tucson to Colossal Cave Mountain Park
It took a lot longer to walk out of Tucson than I thought, but I had some encouragement along the way. Only about 100 miles left, the next three or four days will be spent crossing the desert to Patagonia, my last town stop before the border. I think. I haven’t really looked at the […]
Into Tucson on the AZT
Behind the Tent Door, sounds like a movie title #AZT #sobo
Mt. Lemmon Cookie Cabin, AZT

Casa Rivera, Oracle, AZ
When you remember to pack out a burrito for the 20 mile, 4,000 feet climb… #sogood #AZT #sobo
Oracle Let Me Down
Been looking forward to this for days. Southwestern Brisket Sandwich… #Mmm #AZT #sobo Sadly the Ore House Hilltop Tavern Bartender WAY over charged me, making me never want to return…
Pushing to Oracle
Home for the night. Supposed to be thunder and lightning until morning. Listening to the rain. Thinking about burgers. #AZT #sobo
First Rattlesnake on the Arizona Trail
First rattlesnake of the trail, that woke me up, middle of nowhere, can’t tell if I’m walking or showing off my sassy pose, and the view from inside my tent. #AZT #sobo
Cacti at the Low Point of the Arizona Trail
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
