March 2017 was not a good month for the Housholder Familty Saunterers. It started with a "Spring Break" of Bianka's falling from the monkey bars at school just a day break started. She broke a bone in here leg and was casted. Recovery for her was super fast and only one or two months. A week later I was involved in an auto accident and broke 9 bones in my right foot. Major Surgery and plenty of visits to the physical therapists coupled with six months of ZERO hiking and we are back on trail with these warm up passages.... So bottom line we did not let our "Spring Breaks" stop us from having a "Hoppy Easter" and another fresh start on October 1st, 2017:
Recovery Hike - One Flat Mile Along the AZT!
At milepost 349 to 350 as measured from the Sonora, Mexican boarder the Arizona Trail crosses over Theodore Roosevelt Lake Bridge along the Salt River where Passage 19 ends and Passage 20 begins at the Vineyard Trailhead.
I am looking for small flat areas on the trail that will be easy for my recovering foot to hike, starting in the next couple weeks. This one and a half miles perfectly fits the need for a flat, non-rocky route as it follows the actual highway on pavement it would thus make for a great place to once again return to action!
156/800 Miles Complete!
Good News! The Adventure Continues.
On October 1st, 2017, the Housholder Family Hikers (Saunterers) were able to get back out on the trail. Since our two "Spring Breaks" we have been temporarily sidelined. Bianka's leg healed super fast but my major foot surgery has taken much longer, testing my patience.
The one mile recovery hike was successful on the flat highway bridged-crossing spanning the Salt River at Roosevelt Lake (passage 19, milepost 349 to 350 as measured from the Sonora, Mexican boarder). We are now searching for some more, flat two or three mile potential places for the next recovery hikes.
Little by little the foot is healing and getting stronger everyday thanks to an awesome surgeon and numerous physical therapists!

Finishing off the year 2018 in style!
December 31, 2018
250 / 800 Miles Complete!
The Housholder Family Saunterers enjoyed a great sunset hike overlooking beautiful Roosevelt Lake on The Thompson Trail #121, which is a part of the Arizona Trail, a short three mile connector route that travels up and over Sonoran desert hillsides between the Roosevelt Dam bridge area and Forest Road #341, a fine way to finish off a great 2018!
The beautiful area hiked was between FR 341 just north of the Cemetery and over the Thompson Trail towards Roosevelt Lake Bridge! A fantastic place to enjoy sunset. FR 341 was manageable yet somewhat rocky after the gate near the water plant just north of the trailer park. Pictures are attached and a map as well.
We will be back to add more triplogs to this segment from future visits..... |
