Maps and other thoughts

Ordered Yogi's resupply guide a couple of days ago and received shipment notification today. Downloaded the Ley maps to my phone using Avenza maps. Bought Guthooks app for NM. I have also downloaded the "official" maps from the CDTC to my computer. Unsure if I will use them on the hike. I still feel a need to have paper maps with me although from most of the youtube vids I have watched no one uses them very often. Still, I feel comfortable having them. So I am debating 3 options: 1. Print the Ley maps (Office Depot), 2. Buy maps from Bearcreek, 3. Buy mapbook from Postholer. Unsure if/when any of them will be updated this year so will probably wait until February/March to make that decision.





Used Postholer planner to create a rudimentary resupply plan. Will wait for Yogi's book to finalize those details.





Initial thoughts are to start around April 19th with an end date of ~ June 4th. Obviously, for those reading this, I am only doing the NM portion of the CDT.





I still need to figure out my transportation to Lordsburg and to schedule my shuttle/water cache with the CDTC.





About all for now. Always been of a mind that most over-plan long trips.
