      You may be disabled in your body, but your soul is whole and untouched. I think in some way we all are like you: there are difficulties in life and we can learn from them. We can take respite and find courage in the beauty that lives in our hearts. Take care and stay well :-)

You have a great eye for editing these video's to create the video analogy of a "page Turner book", that can't be easily set down. I just binge watched the entire Arizona Trail series in one sitting! Hope to see you on a trail one day!

    " It's the Arizona Trail
    A path through the great Southwest
    A diverse track through wood and stone
    Your spirit it will test.
    ... The aches and pains will fade away
    You'll feel renewed and whole
    You'll never be the same again
    With Arizona in your soul.
    ... Through deserts, canyons and mountains
    From Utah to Old Mexico." Dale R. Shewalter

    I went backpacking with some friends and my kids recently. I’ve always been more Bushcraft style than anything. However, my kids told me how much they loved backpacking and want to see more sights and keep on hiking. I just bought them both lighter gear and packs. Thanks for the influence. We watched this whole AZT segment and absolutely loved it!

You have inspired us to hike sections of (if not the entire) AZT. Thank you for you dedication to great content. P.S. We’re in Phoenix.

      @grandsea2 Před 5 lety +2

      Last time I said that was on the return trip from Afghanistan. I had purposely packed it in a pocket I never use because the snap it had was very stubborn to open...then TSA found explosives residue in my toiletries kit...I about had a highspeed-come-apart...Thank God the TSA supervisor was a retired infantryman and after looking over my orders not only said I was free to go but also brought me to my gate on his gulf cart!

  • @olliehopnoodle4628

    @johneason6540 Před 5 lety

    What a great trail.
    I did hike a couple passages at Tucson in April and then drove to GC to celebrate the 100th anniversary as a national park and did rim to rim to rim. Two days one night. That's all I could get for a camping permit. It is a fantastic gike into the canyon. I love it. I think next year I will be fully retired and hike the entire trail! Maybe with better conditions and less snow.
    That's for the video. Will be waiting for the movie, I'm sure it will be great too.
