Day Six of the CDT and a Line for the Bathroom ?!?

It’s Day Six on the CDT and I’m 165 miles in. Only 3000 more to go.

As some or most of you know I’m tackling the Continental Divide Trail.

Heading northbound from Mexico through New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana. Should take 4 to 5 months depending on a whole hell of a lot. As 3000+ miles is a long way to walk. Took an Amtrak to Lordsburg, New Mexico, and the starting point.

Already seeing some interesting sights:

First hurdle on Steve Halteman’s CDT hike. 3000 more miles to go.

Old school fence on the CDT.

An Italian immigrant living in New York had a vision to come to the desert and hand build a church. Sometime in the 1950s. He picked Hachita, New Mexico, population 36, from a map. Then made his way there. The visionary then spent many a year constructing his stone homage to Christ solo. Christ’s reception was not as anticipated. For three days before the first service was to be held in the almost finished cathedral, our visionary climbed under his truck to check on something. Then was run over and killed when the truck mysteriously slipped out of gear.

In the busy morning hours, there was a line for the outdoor bathrooms on the CDT.

This is Steven “Blast” Halteman on the CDT, signing off!

 

 

Steven “Blast” Halteman – Off Again! This time hiking the CDT.

(Continental Divide, Southernmost Point, April 25, 2018) Decided to step away for six months or so. Maybe try to visit a couple countries I haven’t seen before. Also, try to get in a good hike.

Started the hike part four days ago. The trail is called the Continental Divide trail lasix sin receta. I’m 85 miles in and have 3015 miles to go.

The trail starts on a part of the Mexican border called Crazy Cook. Which is so named because an early surveying party was marking the border circa 1907 when one of the crew gave an unflattering pre-Yelp review about the food and was promptly murdered by the cook.

 

The photos above is of a fairly questionable water stop which didn’t work out well for my friend got there before me. But I found to be quite palatable. Sometimes it’s nice not to have a choice.

My sleeping quarters and some interesting views (below):

Until next time!
