This is the entrance to the Grand Canyon? It sure is, but without a permit I camped nearby and took way too many pictures of my tent. Not in a hurry to go anywhere, except the food in town is all super expensive. Supposedly it’s cheaper inside the park. Maybe tomorrow the Grand Canyon. #grandcanyon […]

Chillin at the Grand Canyon
Just chilling today, tomorrow I’ll hike #AZT
AZT to Tusayan
Pushed the last 26 miles into Tusayan to have McDonald’s earlier than planned. Only the jokes on me, the McDonald’s has been torn down. Had to settle for Wendy’s, and had to knock on the door to be let in since they close at 6pm on Sundays. But I got my burger. All is well […]
AZT North of Flagstaff
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 […]
Laundry Day on the CDT, Silver City, NM
Apparently, doing laundry in town is the most dangerous thing I could be doing. Wish me luck! I hope I survive! #CDT #wandering
Columbus Gila Alternate Loop Hike on the CDT
Brutal hiking! Snow covered trail that also happened to be overgrown with thorns, yay! At least I got to make a Del’s lemonade. #CDT #wandering
CDT Loop Hike Around Silver City, NM
Doing the Gila River Alternate to Columbus Gila Alternate to the CDT as a loop before heading north to hot springs, but spending the afternoon soaking in a river can’t hurt #CDT #wandering

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 […]
Into Tucson on the AZT
Behind the Tent Door, sounds like a movie title #AZT #sobo
Mt. Lemmon Cookie Cabin, AZT
What a cold and treacherous trail today. Felt like my feet were in snow for most of it. I’m not sure if the giant white chocolate macadamia nut cookie with four scoops of vanilla ice cream and smothered in whip cream helped, or if it slowed me down. #fatty #hiking #AZT
