Dear CDT-liens, just wanted to let everyone know that P.O.D. and I along
with Skittles, No Trace, Speedo and Pi all finished together at the CDTA
terminus on the Mexican Border November 6th around 6 PM! It was an amazing
day . . . we had miscalculated our mileage so we ended up doing a 28-miler
to finish, ran out of water (couldn´t find the Sheridan Canyon windmill),
and got to the border in the dark. We may or may not have opened the cattle
gate at the border and celebrated in Mexico! ,-) And in a stroke of amazing
luck . . . we ended up getting a ride in ¨the cage¨of a Border Patrol
Agent´s SUV all the way back to Hachita. All the crazy details are in our
trailjournal:
www.trailjournals.com/darkness
. . . or Skittles or Pi´s trailjournal.
The CDT was challenging, frustrating, unpredictable and absolutely
beautiful. I´m still trying to process it all.
Be on the lookout for the 1st ever Southbound CDT Documentary to be
available on DVD this Spring! I´ll have more information on it later,
including a ¨Theatrical Trailer¨coming soon!
Best, Disco
