I remember that stretch very well.<br>
My last water was taken from Summit lake as i was nobo and i was dry by<br>
noon.<br>
Met the Noodle heads on the forest road between Mack's inn the YNP boundary.<br>
They were sobo.<br>
We both were out of water but we sat in the road together and had a palaver<br>
anyways.<br>
That was one dry stretch.<br>

Nita's had plumbing problems for years at the Toaster House. partly<br>
because it's unheated when no one's there. While the water gets shut off, the<br>
lines aren't (and probably can't be) drained to prevent freezing. I've stayed<br>
there 3 times in the past few years, and spent 3 hours repairing several<br>
leaks from an inside waterline in the bathroom during one stay. It took 3<br>
hours because two of the leaks were difficult to get at; there are no plumbing<br>
supply stores within at least 50 miles; but, I finally got one needed part<br>
from a local guy. A complete redo of her water supply lines with PEX would<br>
go a long ways; it would take 2 people and a comprehensive list of parts<br>
bought in a city.<br>

The Toaster House in NM is almost like a traditional stop for CDT hikers.<br>
It would be a shame to lost it.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I live less than 5 hrs from it. I know almost nothing about plumbing, but I<br>
would be willing to meet any plumber who needed a helping hand to fix the<br>
place. The idea would be to see the Toaster House become a permanent CDT<br>
stopping place.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But then there would be continued maintenance and upkeep on the house and<br>
that is probably more than the CDT budget could care for.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In the lower Peninsula of Michigan on the North Country Trail there is the<br>
Old School House owned by the NCTA and used as a gathering place for NCT<br>
hikers and as a stopping off place for backpackers, though backpackers don't<br>
need any camping spots in that area. The Old School House is like a rally<br>
point in the middle of the NCT.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Be nice if the Toaster House could be set up in NM as a stopping place for a<br>
shower, mail drops, but then, its not my property, and I am just wishful<br>
thinking here.....<br>

The US Drought Map shows a minor drought (& below normal 1 Feb snowpack on<br>
