<DIV>Stephen Pern's account is very engaging, especially his English view of
American ways ("I just knew those cows didn't have names"). Last year I
innocently asked for peoples' experience trying to hike the Animas Range,
which is the Divide up from Antelope Wells. A minor firestorm ensued, as
this is closed-access land controlled by the Grey Ranch, or at least that is
one point of view. You can find the thread in the Archives, the key
contributor was DickEBird (Richard Mallory). Pern eventually buried
his Guidebook and hiked in a more free-form style. </DIV>

reply-type=original<BR><BR>I'm reading Stephen Pern's book The Great
Divide. This wak was done in the <BR>more primitive days of the
CDT. He started at Antelope Wells, walked amost<BR>directly west
to the actual Divide and tried to follow it as much
as<BR>possible.<BR><BR>Has anyone treid this route recently? Is
it possible? His food drops were <BR>incredible- first one was in
Silver City. He expected to reach it in
ten<BR>days. Just starting the book so not sure if he does yet,
but I am wondering<BR>about his starting
route.<BR><BR>-RedDoug<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>------------------------------<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Cdt-l
