Arizona Trail: mud, mud, mud

After Blissful takes a forced break due to snowy weather, it's a sparkly day of gorgeous skies and sticky mud. 

In this episode:

1. Blissful rides with a trail angel and three hikers to the Early Bird Cafe where someone pays for her breakfast. 
2. Her second hitch moves on before the door is closed, but gets her to the Highline Trail in Ponderosa Pine.
3. The air is clear and fresh, sparkling with big clouds creating shadows on the vast forest-covered mountains. 
4. The mud gives way to pine needles and red rock under the red rock Mogollon Rim.
5. She's surrounded by birds all the way past streams, finally meeting the East Verde River, the same from a few days ago, where she camps. 

MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
