Arizona Trail: rocks, rocks, rocks

Blissful discovers more rocks than she thought possible on the Arizona Trail.

In this episode:

1. It's a beautiful morning with an orange sky, but straight up to weird skull-looking limestone, then pumice. 
2. The trail is hard and repetitive, not steep, just rocky and relentless.
3. The trail is remote and feels lonely, harder than walking alone before. 
4. Making things more difficult are the slippery basketball-sized rocks on a road – and a young, fast hiker.
5. But Frauke and Dennis hike with her up a lovely shortcut to a road, where a car shows up to take them down to town. 
6. The bad weather arrives after she shops and gets a room at a motel to wait it out. 

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