Took a nice hike down the Gila section of the AZT ! The scenery is amazing with rolling hills along the river to majestic rock formations on the
other side of the Gila. Took a relatively easy (this was 5 months after back surgery) out and back 5 day hike up to the rain water tank that is on the
route to Superior. Met a lot of AZT thru hikers. One guy "RocketMan" said after he reached Utah he was going to cross country to Canada ! These kids
make one feel old though I did meet a 68 yr old thru hiker ! Not much wildlife this time other than the fish in the Gila. I just took a trip (1/22) and found that
my water filter is dead, last time I used it was for the Gila but it worked fine there. Not sure how to maintain the Sawyer filters. In any event a good warm up for
new adventures !
