Estimated Start Date 4/28/2002  -  Actual Start date 4/27/02.


There is no town here, just a Port of Entry.  The first 45 miles is walking along a straight, flat highway. Sounds boring, but we will be excited to get hiking and should get through it quickly.

 

Subject: day 1, 12 miles, 4410 ft


Great day. Up at 5am and took off from Livermore airport shortly after 6. Absolutely fantastic flight with a tail wind and good views. We cruised up to 13,500 and arrived before our ETA of 5 hours.   We at lunch at Dairy Queen in Demming , bought 4 gallons of water at Walmart  to stash and on to the border.  

Officer Journey welcomed us at the border and we started the CDT 2002 at 3:43.  Beautiful country with nice views, birds singing and a couple of wildflowers.  


We are going to bed as the sun sets, trying to type in the dark while balancing PocketMail on my knee.


Subject: day 2, 26.5 mi, elev 4210
A long road walk. nice flowers, but sparse. We finished at 6:30 at our last water cache. Our water caches worked out pretty well. A couple we ended up carrying more water than we would have liked. We are keeping everything inside the tent because we are so close to the border.


We talked to 2 ranchers on the road. One was sure to tell us we were on his ranch for the next 50 miles. He sounded gruff, but was nice.

The weather was warm but less wind than yesterday. We still feel coated with dust and salt.
