<div>Good luck Joel. Don't be afraid to send the dog home after a few days. This is your nut to crack and most animals/humans should not be thru hiking the CDT.</div>
<div>All the best,</div>

<br>
Thanks for all the information I've gleaned reading here. I'm<br>
starting a little later than I wanted to be, but my dog and I will be<br>
on the trail in about twelve hours :) We're heading southbound<br>
starting at the trailhead near Marias Pass (between the N.P. not<br>
allowing dogs, an emergency surgery for the dog last week, and not<br>
wanting to roadwalk Hwy 2 right at the start of the trip... ahh<br>
well...)<br>
<br>
If you want to follow me, I'll be (a) sending up blog posts whenever I<br>
have signal, (b) tweeting daily updates by satellite, and (c) having<br>
my satellite messenger give out my position every 30 minutes (there's<br>
a link and you can see my position every 30 minutes while walking,<br>
turned off when I sleep).<br>
<br>
Should be fun!<br>
