Hitchhiked 170 miles from Pie Town, NM to where RT 66 passed through Holbrook, AZ in just under four hours. To me that’s impressive when it’s a three+ hour drive without having to wait for people to pick you up. Time to let the snow melt before I jump back on trail. #hitchhiking #wandering

Toaster House, Pie Town, NM
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 […]
Losing Hope in Gila National Forest, NM
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. […]
Tent Camping Gila National Forest
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
Doc Campbell’s, NM

Laundry Day on the CDT, Silver City, NM
Apparently, doing laundry in town is the most dangerous thing I could be doing. Wish me luck! I hope I survive! #CDT #wandering
Columbus Gila Alternate Loop Hike on the CDT
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
CDT Loop Hike Around Silver City, NM
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
Slowing Down in Silver City, NM
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
Tent Camping on Gomez Peak
Had a fantastic night camping on Gomez Peak, watching the sunset and the lights of Silver City come up. Not on the CDT but I’ll get back to heading north after I explore more of this area. #NewMexico #wandering
