We day hiked AZT 39-43 over four days, these last sections would complete the AZT for us. Over those four days, there was lots of talk about the highs and lows of our journey. A journey that consisted of day hikes, backpacks, car shuttles, out and backs and staying at ranches and it was about to come to an end after 1 year, 5 months and 3 days. At the completion we traveled 922.65 miles and had 130,076 feet of aeg.
The Summer of 2014 will always be remembered as that summer we drove Lake Mary Road every weekend. White Rocks #25 brought together a bunch of soft hearts while we found a furever home for Sadie the coondog. Our decision to do #27 Highline and #28 Blue Ridge together has created a fish tale about that epic day where we set our 35.5 mile dayhike personal record, we sat at General Springs Cabin at 4:30 in the afternoon and still had 16 miles to go!
I thought the mountain lion sighting while setting up the shuttle for #6 Las Colinas, was my number one memory. We arrived at State Line Campground and as we were taking our "we finished" photo. Karl pulled out an engagement ring and made the best memory ever!
