Day 13 Snow Lake Fire Closure

24.6 miles As much as I got to enjoy the Gila River, it was weary thing on day 3 and

24.4 miles This was the first day that I saw absolutely no one on trail. I left Doc Campbells around

23.6 miles (37.9 km) I was super keen to experience the Gila River so was on trail by 5:45am. It

23.1 miles (37.1 km) The Gila Alternate route was something that I was always going to do on this hike.

15.5 miles today. 123.5 miles in on trail. Other than collecting water from the next water cache in 7.3 miles

24 miles I woke early again to hike the 2.8 mile Highway road walk out of Lordsburg and the last

25.3 miles today, I’ve lied. Did I said Day 2 is always the worst day on a long hike? It

23 miles. 45 miles in on trail. Night one tends to be a shitty nights sleep and last night was

22.9 miles. This is it. Day 1 on another epic adventure. I have mixed feelings of both nervousness and excitement.

T-minus 2 days – Lordsburg A low key travel day today with an early morning Greyhound bus ride over 5
