“Very cool. Where in AZ are you? North, south, etc? Looking forward to the pics.”

“Wow, that's quite a change from Maryland. But then again, you ARE the nomad. Lots of luck to you and VV!

yeah, you spell bad but compared to Tea, you're a Rhodes scholor.”

“Nomad! Good to hear from you again! Where are you inthe state? I have a great place for you to check out, it's not hiking, but well worth the trip.”

“Nomad,
Welcome to Arizona!
Lots and lots and LOTS of hikers here...
The Sierra club does a lot of hikes.
My own ”

“oops
My own Wander Women club (Men NOT excluded) does a lot of things...
Is Pinetop where you will be living?
If so... The Mogollon Rim isn't far. There's the Arizona Trail.
You're 150 miles from Flagstaff (Mt. Humphreys), 240 from the Grand Canyon. and 200 from Prescott (ME!)
Gotta be lots stuff near you. And there is so much National Forest land...

GAWD, I LOVE ARIZONA!!!”

“And the Superstitions!!!”

“also, take a look at
www.arizonahikers.com
and
Grand Canyon Egroup”

“Cool...hope everything goes well in AZ for you Nomad1....

You don't spell bad...you just don't type well.

HA, Yes, there is a difference!”

“Hey is Annie's Tea Room still there? It is great after a long hike.....”

“Congrats Nomad. I just got moved myself and am still finding my way around, in Florida - a bit different than AZ, but new to me all the same.

Good luck getting settled in!”

“Pinetop is in or at least very near the White Mountains in eastern Arizona maybe 50 miles from New Mexico. Pretty country--big ponderosa pines. MP”

“Arizona is pretty close to California - hopefully, we can get both states together for a hike.”

“Petrified Forest is only about an hour, hour and a half, good for one or two nights backpacking or long dayhikes”

“Superstition Mountains...

“the Lost Dutchman mine is in the Superstitions...”

“Hey Nomad if you need company on a hike let me know. I would be into a trip out there.”
