<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Thanks for the complements, I'm glad you all liked them.   I think everyone looks so clean because they got to town and took showers before coming to find me.  That's my theory anyways, but it could be the B+W on the plain white.  Either way I like the look of it.  I've been thinking about getting a collapsable background and dragging it up to the trail head to take the photos there so that I could get bits of the landscape around the white.  It would just take a bit more patience and willingness on the part of the hikers because it would be more logistically difficult to do.  Thoughts?  <div>Thanks again. -Laura Ryan<br><br>--- On <b>Thu, 7/2/09, cdt-l-request@backcountry.net <i>&lt;cdt-l-request@backcountry.net></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From:

 hikers take the <br>Anaconda cutoff. While years ago this part of the CDT was mostly a <br>lengthy road-walk, it's now quite a lot better and mostly all trail. My <br>guess is that a lot of old information is still in circulation; <br>incorrectly describing the CDT route in that area. Actually, the <br>Anaconda cutoff may have more road walking than the CDT route (even <br>including Delmoe Lake Road). So, if your goal is to stay off roads, <br>you're probably better-off with the CDT.<br><br>The forest service, CDTA, and local volunteers have put a lot of effort <br>into improving the trail in this section, and it'd be great if more <br>thru-hikers could "show it some love".<br><br>Yes, it's a little longer than the Anaconda cutoff, but it'll only <br>lengthen your trip by a couple days... And is a couple more days in the <br>mountains really all that bad?<br><br>Anyway, hike your own hike and all that... but give the Butte trail a <br>chance,
