Arizona Trail: Rocky Road to Roosevelt Lake

Send us a textIt's rough trail for Blissful as she works her way towards Roosevelt Lake mostly on rocky road, far harder going down than up. In this episode:From a camp above Walnut Spring in the Superstition Mountains, it's slippery and steep 1,000 feet straight down and 1,000 feet straight back up. The views are towards ancient seabeds, lifted up as mesas, the trail covered with lupine and prickly-pear cactus.Then the trail crosses a dry wash over and over, Cottonwood Creek disappearing underground, then reappearing just in time for to drink as she gets thirsty. No more trail after that, as Blissful follows a rocky road so angled, it would make a roller coaster blush. But that gets her to the highway and finally, Roosevelt Lake Marina, her resupply package waiting for her, and a small square of astroturf for the alicoop. MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, pianoSupport the show
