Oracle AZ – Resting Oak Air BnB

Resting Oak Air BnB RV. What a place! It has everything a house has. This is a super deal, which costs what a moderately priced hotel room would cost.

The Black Hills of Oracle

I was up early for my second day go around with the Black Hills. It’s like a roller coaster. The trail goes up and down a hundred feet or more repeatedly.

Making Miles on the AZT

I wanted to hit 550 miles today. The trail had no single large elevation gain, but it did gradually go up most of the day. Still, I was making miles.

Heading South of Kearney

I was hiking south of Kearney by 9:15 AM. The trail was mostly up. It was a clear day and although hot, certainly not as hot as yesterday.

Short Stop in Kearney, AZ

I decided to go into Kearney today for a couple of reasons. The rocks have finally got the better of my right foot. I’m going to rest the foot for half a day.

500 Miles!

I took several breaks in the heat, which slowed me down. Despite that, I went over the 500 miles mark today in both map miles and actual miles hiked.

Relaxing at Trail Angel MJ’s in Superior

I’m at trail angel MJ’s house in Superior. MJ doesn’t call this a hostel, but it is. She made us a super breakfast of pancakes, eggs and orange juice.
