historic/senic advantages- than the CDTS is a very good<br>route. <br><br> <br><br>Keith has set up two very good spots between Columbus and Deming for water,<br>Deming is a great resupply town, and there is water north of there. Keith<br>in Deming and Lynnea in Mimbres are excellent support. <br><br> <br><br>I am not fixated on the CD myself- just looking for an interesting route and<br>the CDTS is it. <br><br> <br><br>This is my opinion- Keith is a very good experience. He loves the CDTS and<br>has done a lot to set up water contacts between Deming and Columbus. I told<br>him what he asks for picking up hikers and getting them to Columbus is too<br>little. I never met Sam Hughes, but I am sure Kieth has done as much for<br>the CDTS as Same did for CC's and the CDT.<br><br> <br><br>-Trew<br><br>From: Eric White [mailto:<a ymailto="mailto:ericshawwhite@yahoo.com"
