<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My plans got scuttled and i began on Jun 22 going
North from MacDonald pass and made it to Rogers 4 days later. Did run into
snow, quite a bit around Black and Nevada mountains. Broke a
pole, got mighty wet but managed not to lose the trail too much. You
really got some views of the snowy mountains all around. huge
blisters</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hitched out of Lincoln and finally made it back to
CO to begin a SOBO out of Rawlins. Pretty much forgone the thru hike
idea! kinda pussy!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>gonna shorten those miles as to see and live the
outdoor life, realized the way I did the CO trail was my style, slower with
better peace of mind. Maybe some friends will join NOW.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good Luck ya'll!</FONT></DIV>
