CDT Thru-hike Anniversary!

Today , April 17, marks the anniversary of my first day setting out on the CDT at the Mexico/ New Mexico border below Columbus in 2013.  

As part of my big day, I will be offering a 30% discount (essentially offering at cost), for my CDT book, published  in 2017:  $20 plus $3 shipping, for autographed copy, when ordered directly from me.  The 265-page book has 50 full-color photos, and details a route starting at Columbus, working through the Gila River alternate in New Mexico. 

 Colorado included summiting Mt. Elbert, and Grays Peak.   

After passing through Wyoming, I did a variant through Yellowstone National Park hooking up to the Big Sky alternate back to the official CDT through Whitehall, Montana.

After a fire closure reroute in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, I completed the rest of the main route  through Glacier National park.

Daily mileages and start /stop point for each day are included.  

I sincerely thank all and every one of any of my crew dubbed  MeGaTex, and the numerous trail angels and friends who helped me, because without them, I would not have made it.

Order here through the sidebar on my blog.

Best wishes for safety and success for all in their backpacking hopes and goals in this crazy 2021 period.

Embrace the Brutality!
