| partners | | Got Andy and Wally to join me again for the middle section of AZT15. We started at the south end of the north section that Wally and I did 3 weeks ago. We took a road in from the Florence-Kelvin Hwy right to where we left off, which was right where the single track ended at that road. The road in was 3 miles from the KF Hwy and had a few washouts that made it slow going.
The hike was like last week's hike, not a whole lot to see, but it the green and wildflowers helped with the scenery somewhat. It's nice to be out in the remote areas with the solitude and peace. Saw another hike that was one of the few other dayhikers we've encountered on the trail. he parked his car by a powerline tower and hiked NB to where we parked and headed back. He was asking some advice on how we got to where we parked because he needs to finish the part from the top of the Big Hill to south of Ripsey Wash. It's been fun to talk to other hikers on this trail getting the stories from the thru hikers and exchanging info and ideas the other day hikers.
There's a new section that looks like it's been recently rerouted. I noticed it after I had passed the reroute completely on our way in. on the way out I made of point of noticing each end of the reroute and taking photos. Not sure why they did this since both sections are single track. There's a big section south of what we did today that follows dirt roads that I can see in about 10 years or so being redone and a singletrack being built. We'll see I suppose.
Sunny all day with no clouds at all. Temps still stayed cool. Breezy at times. Saw a few bikers this time and mostly backpackers. no wildlife to speak of. |
