Last minute preparations...

Scarecrow has officially made it to Lordsburg, New Mexico - he has the day to prepare last minute details, his water caches and mail drops.  He will shave his face for the last time and sleep in a comfy bed and hopefully get good rest, for tomorrow begins his CDT adventure.

There are a group of trail angels who will help you set up and stash water caches for you along the trail from the monument back up to Lordsburg.  You pay for your water and they will place it along the way in strategic spots to eliminate you having to carry water for those first few days on the trail.

 
Teddy met these angels today as they were filling the huge blue containers that will supply water for the CDT hikers.  I want to send a great big THANK YOU to these trail angels as well as all of the ones up the trail who will indeed make my husband Scarecrow's thruhike more enjoyable by doing what they do.  I only hope that one day, Teddy and I can be trail angels and help other hikers as he was helped so generously over the past few years.

where is Scarecrow?

Until next time,

The Thruhiker's Wife
