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!
