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
Four Peaks Wilderness, AZT
Beautiful trail, a little snow, water filter breakdown, bears? But good fortune says the cookie, so I rested easy. Despite the storm warning. #AZT #hiking #sobo

Windmill Farm Stealth Camping
I managed to get to the Metrolink Station to catch the last bus towards Cabazon. From the Morongo Casino I walked back to the PCT and what I hoped would be a warmer stretch of trail. Only it was so late and I was limping from a few newly formed blisters that I didn’t exactly […]
PCT Stealth Camping Location Ruined
East of Cabazon, CA on the PCT Watching trains of double stacked cargo containers roll by, each one filling the horizon from right to left. All the way. Windmills on the hills and 4.5 miles to go before a campsite. It’s not even 9 am and I have been sitting here for a while enjoying […]
