If there was ever a man who defined the phrase โ€œage is just a number,โ€ it’s Art Huseonica.

โ€œItโ€™s been a passion since I was 10 years old,โ€ he said. โ€œIโ€™m 67 years old! Why do I want to do this?โ€ he laughed.

He goes by โ€œKartsโ€ on the trails these days. He’s been hiking mountains since he was a little boy, and now lives in Sun City.

But one day, a woman at his favorite diner suggested a challenge on the Arizona Trail.

โ€œShe goes, โ€˜Art you have a wonderful opportunity to yo-yo the trailโ€™ and I go โ€˜Yo-yo? I donโ€™t want to play yo-yo the whole way on the trail,’โ€ said Huseonica.

Turns out, she meant a roundtrip hike from Mexico to Utah and back down, 800 miles each way.
