"CONFIRM RESERVATION"
Clicked on those words. Well this is gettin real. Tickets booked. Flying to El Paso, then Amtrak to Lordsburg. Have been wanting to do this trail for over 40 years. I read an article back when I was a kid. I think it was in National Geographic. It detailed the hike of the continental divide from Mexico to Canada. I have thought about it on and off since then. Then more and more, until in 2010 it became a pretty constant pull in my brain. Well here it is 2013 and the stars have aligned. Not much of a journalee, (not a word, lol), so could be intermittent or I might pullulate a veritable plethora of verbiage. Unpredictable for sure. I live very close to the continental divide in Canada and plan on walking to my door. Sounds cool. Walking from Mexico to my door. lol. "Where ya been?" Mexico. " For 4 months?" I took me a while to walk home. bada bing. Anyway, looking forward to getting started. Gear list and plan to follow... soon???
