I hike some long trails in fits and starts. Sometimes I complete them. Definitely fair weather hiker.

I have to stop planning hikes; the very thought starts fires. This is the #AZT portion north of Grand Canyon that I've been planning on coming back to in the autumn. The red blotches are fires, the line with distorted arrows is the #AZT. #LGBTHiker #backpacking

The SSA is gaslighting people on Social Security and Seniors. No mention of their nursing home possibly closing due to Medicaid cuts. #SSA #FuckTrump

Aaaaand..... My home-printed map of the entire #AZTrail including a Hayduke alternate through the Canyon and a route to Page, AZ. 14 sheets of crappy Dollar-ishTree paper. Weighs 2.5oz, 1:125,000 scale, with UTM grid and home-made-and-checked, uh, UTM coordinate finder thing (the square thing).

Henry W. Coe State Park. (A.K.A. Stair Master Park where every day is leg day.) I have a love-hate relationship with it. Mostly love but also mostly hate. #lgbthiker #California

That's alright. I wasn't planning on getting a permit anyway... May the odds be ever in your favor. #pct #PermitReleaseDay
