Kadizzle, Cliff, and Winky set of on about a five mile hike up the San Francisco River. It actually was a creek with very little water. We left Arizona and drove about two miles into New Mexico. Kadizzle does not like to walk fast, but Cliff and Winky like to do the Fire Ass style walking. They walk like their butt is on fire. Kadizzle does what he calls mumble walking. You walk like an old man and mumble to yourself. You enjoy the forest more. However, on the way back, like a horse going back to the barn, Kadizzle walked as fast as he could and left Cissie and Cliff in the dust. They did hike farther than old Kadizzle. The legs performed better than usual, and so did the entire old body. Who knows why. The quick walking may be payed for with sore legs. Arizona has shut down the forest in Arizona. New Mexico is still allowing people into their forest.
On the way back we drove through parts of Alpine. Alpine is a second home area in the White Mountains of Arizona. There are a lot of people living back in the woods. Once you start exploring you realize how many people are camouflaged by the forest. The encampments range from the bums just getting by on social security or what they can steal, and it goes the whole gamut up to the forest estates of the wealthy. The lack of order in the forest communities is a bit distressing. Live and let live in Arizona means nothing is zoned or regulated.
