Days 17 & 18: Superior Zero

Dates: March 5 & 6, 2020

Miles: zero! Then 300.5 – 318.9

The best trail angels I’ve run across so far live in Superior, AZ. MJ and Al are transplants from Minnesota who shuttle dirty AZT hikers around and open their home to them. Funnybone and I got a ride in from Al on the morning of March 5th and I decided to let my legs take a day off at their house.

Day 16: Goodbye Gila

Date: March 4, 2020

Miles: 277.8 – 300.5

Cowbells clanged in the field between my tent and the river all night long, and between that and my inability to get more than a couple good hours of sleep when I’m camping by myself, I was groggy and out of sorts this morning.
