TD 6 Zero Day

I got to the trailer well after 9pm last night, no injuries, but sore feet, heat rash, sun burn, hungry…

The race does not go to the swiftest but to he who stays the course

Today is a great day of unlimited water, endless fresh greens and time with David ( without whom this would not be possible). I return to the trail tomorrow at mile 151.66, where I left. With water for the first 25 miles, I will travel in the cool morning and take my solar umbrella I Hope to make it to mile 180 tomorrow night. Mile 172 is posted as having a significant rockslide “dangerous to cross and impassable to some.” Miles 171-175 are reported to be edged with the infamous Poodle Dog Bush, said to be more toxic than poison oak.

I hope to return to supply at mile 209 on Sunday.

Thank you all for your prayers, caring comments and constant support.

Last summer the Canadian border opened at Manning Park, BC. I walked the last 70 miles with a sense of joy and gratitude, the monument was crowded with people from all over the world, finally able to compete their dream. The summer of '23 was incredible for another reason. Lonely for the simple pleasure and renewing life of long distance trail hiking I decided to begin the Continetal Divide Trail ! I hiked from the south I-15 crossing to Canada (about 900 miles), experiencing windstorms, a blizzard, twice daily thunderstorms and days without seeing even a human footprint. I was hooked! Stay tuned as Wingman and I restart the blog chronicling the remaining 2100 miles of the CDT, from Mexico to Montana.
