I left the CDT near the Colorado/New Mexico border and headed into Chama. Tired of the constant wind that felt like hungry ghosts demanding to be acknowledged. Worn out from what that does to my nervous system. I not-so-stealth camped in front of the senior center in the middle of town, long past the point […]
I’d walked away from myself just as much as I’d walked away from society. After a month of silence, alone in the mountains, it was time to mingle with the other apes. I travelled south, from Breckenridge to Fairplay and beyond by connecting local buses, to end up stealth camping in Salida. Then hitchhiking from […]
Stopped at the Toaster House in Pie Town, NM. The place is super nice, quiet and comfortable despite what you may have read on FarOut. Those people causing problems have been removed. The owners are exceedingly generous in their hospitality. Plus you’re walking distance to lots of pie! Just wish my last pair of shoes […]
Caught a five mile hitch in the middle of nowhere to the edge of cell phone service to wish @flightrisk_fries a happy birthday. At the same time I found out a friend who was coming to visit, bringing all of my belongings from storage, got into an accident. Totalling his van and breaking his hip. […]
Camping and hiking in some pretty remote places. No cell signal, no people, and you try to grab water when you find it. 170 Mile’s between town’s is more than I’m used to. #CDT #wandering
Walked out of Silver City with 170 miles to the next town. No cell service, no food except the half dozen Mcdouble’s in my pack, but Doc Campbell’s was 40 miles in, my last vestige of civilization. Little did I know how much my life would change while I was away… at a loss for […]
Apparently, doing laundry in town is the most dangerous thing I could be doing. Wish me luck! I hope I survive! #CDT #wandering
Brutal hiking! Snow covered trail that also happened to be overgrown with thorns, yay! At least I got to make a Del’s lemonade. #CDT #wandering
Doing the Gila River Alternate to Columbus Gila Alternate to the CDT as a loop before heading north to hot springs, but spending the afternoon soaking in a river can’t hurt #CDT #wandering
Exploring some of the trails north of Silver City for the next week or so before I continue heading north on the CDT. #CDT #wandering
