Our Return to the Arizona Trail 2018

Hello long lost followers! I'm sorry for the delay in writing, but we are back in Ohio and awaiting full-on spring so you know I will write again soon about what's happening on these magical 3.5 acres.

Our trip along the AZT was fabulous in so many ways and challenging in so many others. We LOVED it. The paragraph beginning with "Every time" sums up our feelings and so I will just share those beautiful words written by Peter Kahn Jr. The pictures are just a snap shot of our time on trail, but I think you will see the splendor of the natural world and what it does to two people deeply immersing themselves.

Data so far (last year and this year): 260.7 miles; Total Ascent: 39,938'; Total Descent: 43,727'
