Meetup: <\/strong>Day 62 – Saturday 9\/12\/2020 – flip flopped! started at spring at 2362.5 at 10:40 am<\/a> and nearest non-alternative mile is 2347.o<\/a> – sunny, hot, few clouds. Justin and I woke at 6:15 am in Chama NM at the Chama Station Inn. Justin stopped for coffee and groceries while I waited in the car. Together we drove the back roads to the spring that I had stopped at in 2016 south of Cuba NM. There is no snow except for a few little drifts here and there. The hike is not over! From there I hiked back to Cuba. This hike included about 7 miles of road walk. Once in Cuba NM I got to Justin in the Jeep at 5:15 pm at Los Pinos County Road, which is tomorrow\u2019s hike starting point. It’s late, I’m tired, but regardless I’m on trail. He cooked two delicious ribeye steaks with corn chips and bean dip for dinner. Tomorrow I\u2019ll slack pack about 20 miles on an alternative trail with a 3800\u2019 climb over 14 miles. This re-route is due to a private-land conflict mentioned on the CDT website. I\u2019ll meet Justin at the end. We plan on meeting up each day to be safe if weather turns bad again. Tomorrow\u2019s weather should be clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no snow in Cuba NM which was my original southbound section-hike goal. It is now my flip-flopping northbound re-starting point (or at least the spring 15 miles south of Cuba where I had gotten off trail in 2016). (Photograph Courtesy of J. Watt)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Time to start hiking northbound now. Overall I’m heading back to where the snow storm has gotten me off-trail. But today’s goal is Cuba NM and meeting up with Justin. (Photograph Courtesy of J. Watt)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After the stress of the snowstorm I’m looking quite relaxed at the Rebels Roost<\/a>. Oh and we’re having delicious ribeye steaks tonight. Yum! (Photograph Courtesy of J. Watt)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
