Just lookin’ for an excuse…
In total there was over 2,000 feet in three climbs where the trail went up in the Superstition Wilderness. Most of the trail was wider except one descent
I didn’t get off until 7 AM. I had wanted to start right at first light, so I could hit my mileage target. Anyway, on I go into the Superstition Wilderness.
I believed there would be trouble getting to the trail from Globe this morning, so I tried to arrange a shuttle. No luck. The hotel owner offered a short ride.
The post office was in the downtown area of Globe, so I walked around to check things out. Most stores are only open a few days a week.
I’m going into the town of Globe, Arizona to pickup provisions and take a day off. I didn’t want to get in too early and not be able to check in at the hotel.
Gladly, I finished hiking Four Peaks Wilderness. I find no joy walking on the outer edge of a mountain on a narrow path with loose stones and rocks.
The trail turned onto a more primitive path. Then I entered Four Peaks Wilderness. The trail narrowed until it was one to one and one-half feet wide.
The doctor said I was good to continue hiking, so it’s back to the trail. I left Banner Urgent Care and immediately began hitchhiking to the trail.
A cow wandered into my camp and was mooing all night. I got up late thanks to the cow. The plan was to hitchhike into Payson and have my leg examined.
I started hiking with either Payson or Globe as my destination. Ultimately, it was decided to go to Payson for medical attention due to its closer proximity.
