Great episode! And you know I love the wildflowers! The scenery is absolutely gorgeous. I'm so glad you're getting things right in your head, having a lot of fun and have joined up with some great people. You're wise to not feel like you have to stick to the trail and try to suffer through the snow ahead. Thanks for sharing your adventure, it's really fun following along. The music is great and that one piece that you've used be before, sends me!
Good to be flexible about the route. The important thing is to see much of Arizona in a way that will be unique this year. I live near Lake Tahoe CA and I cannot fathom how the PCT will work this year.
Greetings from Japan! It is wonderful to see you on trail again. It seems that for you, hiking is like a kind of medication -- pharmaceuticals for your soul. Any doctor will tell you that a drug by itself is not a cure. The drug facilitates the therapy. For the therapy to be effective, you must select the proper pharmaceutical, establish the proper dosage, and administer the medication under the proper circumstances. I imagine that the Pacific Crest Trail in segments (section hikes or LASHes) would be an affective therapy for you, but a PCT thru-hike amounts to a badly admnistered overdose. I imagine section hikes of the CDT, AT, PNT, or IAT also would be similarly more beneficial than a thru-hike, but the complete AZT modified for your needs will be a proper dosage and environment. In my case, I can honestly say that your on-trail videos are very therapeutic for me. Thank you for bringing us along. I look forward to your next episodes! Please be safe and keep at it!
Greetings to you from the US! That’s very well said. Yes, it’s definitely a needed therapy for me at this point in life, but balance is key. Too much and I crash hard afterwards. Anyway, I’m stoked to see a comment from you again. Glad you are enjoying the content. It’s people like yourself that let me know it’s appreciated, that makes it worth it. Cheers!
I would turn West from Pine towards Camp Verde, Cottonwood, Sedona up to Flagstaff. You should be almost snow free the entire stretch. Will be a bit longer but you'll get to see the red rocks of Sedona. We can put you up and get you from and to the trail anywhere between Camp Verde and Sedona.
Beautiful vignette of the AZT to watch. Looking forward to viewing it on a big screen later too. I like to watch your offerings 3 or 4 times each, so that they really soak in … Happy for you on this trail & glad it’s all coming together- desert bloom; mild temps; plentiful water; fantastic landscapes; good company & space to contemplate. How much better can it get? On & On 🤍
love love lovin' it! good to see this winter providing the good moisture!

Love when you drag the camera through the flowers like you did on the PCT. Keep rolling my friend. 💪🏼

Thank you! That’s exactly what we are planning. I’m super excited!
Great idea! So much more to see that way. Peace of heart and mind to you, brother. Stay well out there.
Glad to see you more settled. The wildflowers are amazing!!!! Yes, be flexible and enjoy your time there.
Thank you!
How goes the winter?
