<div>I did the CC to Lordsburg route last year, and also found it very well marked all the way to Silver City. Sam is your best bet for a ride out, and he will also help you cache water. I believe he already maintains a cache at the first Bear Box. </div>

<div>On a side note, some of the men I hiked with the first week to Lordsburg, cached water at the other locations between CC and Lordsburg. They came out a day early to do this. If I remember correctly, one of the locations was missing 2 gallons when we arrived.<br>

Okay, Keith...just a question,
I'm hiking the Crazy Cook route, so I won't need you to do my wash. My
question, since I haven't called BLM yet, is the BLM route marked from Crazy
Cook to Lordsburg? I saw some way too large signs when I drove San Gabriel and
another hiker from ADZ to Crazy Cook. Are those the markers all the way to
Lberg?
Also does anyone know if the water caches boxes still in place, for the same
route? Have there been any known problems with the water jugs getting vandalized
or stolen?
Thanks,

Answer:
It is marked VERY well. I hiked the crazy cook route this last September, 2009.
There are reflective signs most of the route. They got a little spread out in a
few sections. But, I had no problems. Several sections are not even what you
would call a "trail". You just walk around brush and cactus toward the next
sign.
The Water cache boxes are the same as the bear boxes you see in Yosemite. There
was no evidence of vandalism or of even more than one or two being visited by
hikers.
I have some photos and a complete gps route with some notes if you (or any one
else) would like them.
I also came across several water sources (cow troughs and some mud tanks or
ponds). I stashed at each cache location two one gallon jugs. I only used one
gallon at each. (Your needs may vary) The temperature was on average in the
upper 70's during my hike. I wrote my name and a date for anyone to take the
remainder on the non-used gallon.
The major issue with crazy cook is the road to the border. You need a 4x4 with
good clearance.....and that is no guarantee.
Good Luck and fill free to contact me off-line if any other questions.

Hello Peekster! We recently received an inquiry from you--scroll down to
see our reply.
Thank you for your interest in Peek! We appreciate your feedback. If you
should have any more questions or concerns, please feel free to email us
again or call us at 877-677-PEEK.
* Got more questions? Check out the _Peek Boards_
(<A href="http://boards.getpeek.com/" target=_blank>http://boards.getpeek.com/</A>)
where your fellow Peeksters are eager to help.
* For the latest Peek news, check out our blog _Peek Speaks_
(<A href="http://blog.getpeek.com/" target=_blank>http://blog.getpeek.com/</A>) or follow us on _Twitter_ (<A href="http://twitter.com/peekinc" target=_blank>http://twitter.com/peekinc</A>)
and

Subject Questions Discussion Thread Response (Ashley) 02/04/2010
11:24 AM Hi Bob,
Thank you for your interest in Peek Pronto.
We are sorry to hear some of the site links are not working. We will
forward that information on to our Peek Geeks fro review. In the meantime, I
double checked the site and this link:
_http://<A href="http://www.getpeek.com/learn.htm_" target=_blank>www.getpeek.com/learn.htm_</A> (<A href="http://www.getpeek.com/learn.htm" target=_blank>http://www.getpeek.com/learn.htm</A>)
is working and can be used to view a 360 degree view of the Peek as well
as some videos of and about the Peek for review.
As for hat comes in the box, you get a Peek, battery, AC charger, carrying
case, and some limited user information. You can set the Peek up with
Lifetime service and Lifetime Insurance for a total cost of $299.95 through
Peek only, with $249.95 for the Lifetime service and $50 for the Lifetime
Insurance. The Lifetime service is self-explanatory and does typically follow
the device you purchased the plan with. However, if something happens to
your device (breaks, malfunctions, lost/stolen) and you have the Lifetime
Insurance Plan, then the Lifetime Service Plan follows you to the replacement
Peek. The Lifetime Insurance Plan is $50 and you can continue to reload the
insurance plan on to the new Peeks so that you never have to repurchase
the Lifetime Service Plan just the re-loadable insurance. This optional $50
insurance plan would be the only additional charge you would have from Peek
with the Lifetime Service Plan in place; there are no hidden fees or taxes
here at Peek. If you would like to purchase this insurance plan, then
simply give us a call at 877-677-7335 (Peek) once you are active and we would
be
more than happy to assist you!
If you did request a replacement Peek under insurance, it would take about
1-2 weeks to process your request. Unfortunately, there is no way around
this timeframe; this 1-2 weeks is the time it takes to process your request
and get the new Peek out to via the United States Postal Service.
Extra batteries and other extra accessories are available for purchase
through _http://boutique.getpeek.com/_ (<A href="http://boutique.getpeek.com/" target=_blank>http://boutique.getpeek.com/</A>) . The
extra battery is $9.95 + shipping and handling. To extend the life of the
battery, you can turn off the "searching signal" option by turning on Airplane
Mode from the Peek Manager Menu; its a simple click of a button to turn
this on and off.
As for the reviews of Peek on Amazon.com, we constantly strive for the
best customer service and Peek experience we can offer! We support most major
email providers as well as some exchange, and we do our best to make sure
all systems are always operational. As with most email providers, we have
had a few outages over the past 1.5 years we've been opened, so that might
account for some of the reviews on email service. We can not do much to
elaborate on the reviews as these are customer opinions. As for the device, we
have come out with many upgrades and improvements to the Peek since its
launch in Sept. 2008 and we expect that improvements will continue to be made
in 2010.
Lastly, our email support system only shows the email address you sent
this email from, therefore, we can not see the other email addresses that you
CC'd this email to. Please forward this information on to the friend and
family members who are interested in Peek.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!

Customer (Bob Bob) 02/04/2010 08:18 AM This morning, some of your site
links aren't working, such as FAQ; I'm
having no problems with any other sites.
1. I find no "what's in the box info", so ... what is? Where are photos of
"what's in the box'?
2. Do you offer insurance for loss or breakage of the device? Otherwise,
the "lifetime service" offered by Amazon.com only applies to one's first
device, and is a false claim.
2a. What is the cost of a replacement device? Will you ship a
replacement device immediately, to minimize a customer's inconvenience,
such as a
backpacker only in a resupply town for a day - who can't necessarily send
in
a bad device while hiking and wait another week or 2 for a replacement in
a different town, that changes every week.
3. I find no info about availability and cost of extra batteries.
4. Can the "seeking a signal" function be turned off to extend battery
life? easily?
5. On amazon.com and costco.com there is a wide swath of negative
feedback, from bad devices to flimsy devices to bad email service to bad
customer
service. Please comment on those 4 general areas, as to what's been done
to
addresses these concerns.
6. Please respond to the above 3 "Copy" To addresses also; they represent
a few hundred long distance backpackers on 3 long US trails: Appalachian,
Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide Trails.
Thanks,
Bob "Trekker"
