GRANTS, NM

I was thinking about flipping up to Wyoming and hiking the Great Divide Basin before it gets really hot there and while it is cold and snowy north of here

At breakfast I saw Banjo, Handitizer, Maria, Seth & Jenny. Later Maria and I went to the post office, and I got to meet one of the great CDT trail angels, Hugo Mumm, who dropped off my resupply box.

Later I saw Boston Bones and he was looking to split a hotel room. I had an empty bed, so he moved in

We had a huge lunch at the Asian buffet restaurant. I tried to digest that as I had some correspondence about my flip plan on the very helpful CDT 2015 Facebook group. After putting together a detailed plan, I decided to continue north at a slower pace so that the oncoming warmer weather can tame the snow before I get there

We had dinner with Race, who is back on the trail after his leg infection

I bought a MontBell jacket to be shipped to Cuba, my next stop. Hopefully it will be there when I arrive to keep me warm into the cold north
