[Cdt-l] Water info in Crazy Cook area

[Jim and/or Ginny Owen]

John - 
thanks for the info.  I updated the website.  Took a while cause we've been in the backcountry. 
 
Note though that the windmill and tank at highway 81 (source 8 in the Spriteagle list) is several (3?) 
miles north of the present CDT crossing of NM 81.  The BLM apparently relocated part of the trail.  
See http://spiriteaglehome.com/Crazy%20Cook.html 
 
Thanks for the info - and have a great hike,
Jim

Here is a the info on some of the water sources between Sheridan Canyon windmill and the tank and windmill at highway 81.

If there is water in the Sheridan Canyon Windmill, then you will have a 15.5 mile trek with no water. It's doable but a water cache would cut down a bit on the weight.> > John Allen> > > > _______________________________________________> Cdt-l mailing list> Cdt-l at backcountry.net> http://mailman.backcountry.net/mailman/listinfo/cdt-l
