23 years ago today, as U.S. was preparing to invade Iraq under GW Bush, a miserable disgrace, I caught a ride with a friend to Coronado's Monument at southern border of Arizona to commence hiking the fledgling #ArizonaTrail. Kicked off, way too much stuff in my pack, March 3, 2003, by hiking to the top of Miller Peak at over 9000 feet. And thus began my ~800 mile journey across Arizona to the Utah border. Still gives me chills recalling it. Tomorrow's the birthday of said chills.
