Max on the CDT

Climbed Mt. Taylor. Piece of cake :p Postholed down the north side. Climbed the steep jeep road to the radio towers. We saw our first rain here. We scrambled to set up our tents on the jeep road before the rain came. My tent poles had broke so it was taking me longer to get mine set up. Luckly the rain never got bad and we probably could have hiked on to a better spot.

The trail north of Grants has been awesome. Ther’s actually a trail. Lots of walking on top of mesas with great views. After the climb down from one of them, I forget the name, we were planning on finding the water source, tanking up and hiking on…until we heard this call "do you want a beer", again "do you want a beer" I say to Sweep, is she talking to us? I obviously wasnt thinking straight because there was no one else for 50 miles that she could have been talking to. So again, long story short, we met a great group of people and ended up not hiking any more that day. We instead sat around the fire and talked and ate and drank and had a great time. We camped out in this big open area with mountains and mesas in the distance and a sky full of stars.
