We have to say that one of our happiest moments on the trail occurred at Cumbres Pass. Number one, because there was no snow, and second because we reunited with other south bound hikers. We met up with Puff, Snappy, Freefall, Chance, Luna, So Far, Patch, Toothfairy, Valley Girl, Panda, Mike, Bret, Brie, Samurai Joe, and Sheryl. It was very strange and exciting to go from hiking alone to being part of a large group of hikers. After only 7 miles of hiking we finally crossed into New Mexico! With only 700 miles left to hike on the trail we were stoked. The landscape transformed as we headed south. We went from forested mountains to rocky desert within 100 miles. Descending into Ghost Ranch was a beautiful mix of cactus, sandstone, aspens, and red landscape.
Straight gangsta guys! I love how all you hippies start looking the same the further you walk the trail! Haha! Exept the lovely brenda of course who's always on super model status! Can't wait to see you guys! Love you!
