The Kadizzles had a great hike. Getting to the trail head meant driving in the truck as far as we could, then making some motorcycle parlays. After all that there was the hike. The road was so steep in places The Commander had to dismount the dirt bike and walk. Finally the road got so bad even one person could not make it on the cycle.
Our hike was along part of the Arizona Trail. At various times we have hiked various segments of the trail around Lake Roosevelt. The remarkable thing about the trail segment we took was that we went from excellent views overlooking Lake Roosevelt to good views overlooking Apache Lake. It is hard to believe how you can leave major metropolitan areas in Phoenix and be in such wild isolated country in a very short time. The Native people had more land than is immediately apparent to work with. Often you get into an area and wonder how people managed to find enough game. Once you do more exploring you find there is far more game habitat than is first apparent.
More than likely we will repeat the procedure later in the week. Kadizzle will scout out an adventure on the motorcycle and then we will do our map research. The final phase is to actually do the hike.
