I completed the AZT. So many flowers, I was in heaven. I hitchhiked around the Grand Canyon closure after doing an overnight in the canyon. Four hitches.

The AZT ranks up there as a top experience in my opinion. I look forward to reliving it through my pictures, turning them into videos. I also hope I can find other people’s videos, especially people I met along the way. I’ll be riding high on this for a while.

    That is indeed my mother, “Piper’s Mom”. She moved away to Brookings Oregon so now she’s on the Oregon Coast Trail.

      Nice! She won’t remember me (I probably wouldn’t recognize her either). But tell her that someone from the class of '09 says thanks again for the ride and the trail magic!

        She may have taken your picture. I’m sure she loved helping you. It was her big thing for about a decade. She loved all her hikers.
