Our Stay in Pie town was A-Ma-Zing. Nita, Kathy, Ty, and Meghan were magnificent. I walked into town convinced that I didn't love pie and oh how I was wrong. If you're ever driving thru Pie Town, NM, stop at the Pie-O-neer. Enjoy everything and tell them Brian and Brenda (CDT 09) sent you. Oh and don't miss the VLA. From pie town we continued our walk south once again finding our tread to be jeep road, and water to be scarce. Special thanks to the guy driving the truck with the camper who hapended to have an extra 2 1/2 gallons of juice that he didn't need. After almost 90 miles of difficult water conditions we finally reached Snow Lake, and the source of the Middle Fork of the Gila River canyon. As we began our hike down the canyon the walls began to rise above us. The trail in the canyon crossed the Gila River over 70 times, in only 15 miles of trail. Halfway through the canyon we took a sidetrail that took us the famous Gila Cliff Dwellings and on to Doc Campbell's.
