Water. Sometimes it’s like an oasis in the desert, sometimes it’s a murky cattle tank. And in between the weather is constantly shifting. I’ll spare you the blister pics. As soon as I left town my shoe inserts decided to breakdown and chew up my heels. Won’t be able to replace them for another two […]

AZT through Coconino National Forest
A little snow, a beautiful birch tree forest and some views. 65 miles to go to one of the most expensive McDonald’s… #wandering #Arizona
AZT Flagstaff Loop
Last day hiking the Flagstaff Loop, spent the night up on a cliff with only just enough room for my tent. Really enjoying the hiking here. I’ve been out for five nights, time to go into town, do some laundry, shower and shave. #Arizona #wandering
AZT Flagstaff
I love hiking through tunnels! And Flagstaff is quickly becoming my favorite hiking destination #tentcamping #Arizona
Walnut Canyon National Monument
Short 15 mile hike for the day so I added some miles around Walnut Canyon. Met a couple of other hikers out doing the same loop around Flagstaff and a couple others taking it slow, otherwise, for camping only seven miles away from town I may as well be in the middle of nowhere… except […]
Fisher Point Cave
Decided not to hike the 30 miles south to Mormon Lake for pizza. They may or may not be open yet for the season. Instead I’m hiking the AZT loop around Flagstaff. First day was only to Lake Mary Valley and up to Fisher Point where I spent so much time looking at the view […]
Flagstaff Tent Camping
Sunrise from inside the tent, just south of Flagstaff #tentcamping #wandering
AZT to CDT via Tombstone, AZ
Hiked into Tombstone to see the OK Coral and Boot Hill Cemetery. Didn’t take enough pictures. Realized that I was going to miss my ride to New Mexico unless I hustled… so I hitchhiked rather than walk the last 30 miles to the train station. #greatday
AZT Southern Terminus
Finished the Arizona Trail for now by making it to the southern terminus, got a haircut, which means I’m back to carrying hair clippers again, got new shoes, and ran back out into the desert. (Pack weight has been consistently 25 – 30 pounds) #wandering
New Shoes in Sierra Vista, AZ
Hiked holes in my shoes, got a hotel room in Sierra Vista to pickup the new shoes being delivered to an Amazon locker… Waited all day because Amazon said that the shoes were out for delivery. Then at 8pm they decided that the shoes couldn’t be delivered for several more days. There’s a running shoe […]
