| no partners | | This passage was the only one missing to complete the entire trail, so even though it was going to be pretty warm (for me anyway) we decided to just GET ER DONE on Saturday. So we stayed at the Stage Stop Inn on Friday night (thanks to Lynn and Gerry for finding a room for us even though the Patagonia Fall Festival had every room in town booked!), and started out at before sunrise to try to beat the heat. There was water at various places along the trail even though it has been a dry Fall (it did not necessarily look tasty, but if needed there is some water). Not much fall foliage yet, but very green hills. This passage surprised us with it's variety of terrain, and we decided it was an appropriate passage to end on since it was a little of everything the AZT had to offer, from grasslands, up to pines, down to desert, to canyons (I really liked Casa Blanca Canyon) - plus of course the rocks, cows, stickers, grasshoppers, heat (glad we had our umbrellas)... another fun day on the AZT! It's been a great adventure.
The entire trail took us about three years to complete (since we only went out once a month or so - and missed quite a few months due to either weather or work...) - and it was MOSTLY fun - but a lot of work too. This State is so lovely and varied in it's terrain, and there is so much open and wild space to enjoy. We need to preserve and protect it, and I thank the AZT and all the volunteers who work so hard to do so! |
