Nice little hike directly from my campsite. I had never hiked the connector trail, nor that particular section of AZT #30 on Anderson Mesa, although I'd been on the trail north of the Marshall Lake Road. It was a great day to be hiking. A bit breezy, especially on the mesa, but that helped with the heat.

I was lucky getting the last campsite at Lakeview on a Friday, but it was shadeless. It was right next to my friend's site, but when the host gave me the opportunity to move to a better one, I did, on Sat. afternoon. Since my life has taken a turn, and I've become a fulltime caregiver, this 3-night camping trip was very sweet. I slept like a log, played guitar for hours, and visited with my friend. I hope I can get another break later in the summer.

The Anderson Mesa portion (geographically, not just the AZT segment) is extremely muddy, difficult to hike in the morning, and impossible to hike while raining, due to the goopy mud. I would recommend anyone exit at Sandy Canyon trail and hike the Lake Mary rd until the AZT crosses south of Upper Lake Mary.

Over 2 days hiking I only had to shelter from lightning for about 45 minutes, but spent hours hiking in the rain. I'd guess the area got 4 inches over those 2 days.
