Flyboxer reached Silver City, NM on Saturday, and has spent the last two days there in a motel. A big winter storm churned its way through NM starting Friday and left a bit of snow. Flyboxer said it is now melting rapidly, and he set out today for Deming, NM, which he expects to reach in about three days (red pin on the map). He left the trail a few days ago for the road because of poor conditions in the mountains, and plans to road hike from Silver City to Deming. He'll then set out for Columbus, NM, just north of his final destination (flag on the map). He says there about 100 miles left.

Very exciting. With a good pace, he'll finish up before the next storm gets there, near the end of the week.
ReplyDeleteHope you made it out, Mark. I have a feeling this cold snap we're having in southern California will be in New Mexico in another day or so.
ReplyDeleteMark finished the trail over last weekend and is enjoying some R&R (rest & roof over his head) before heading back to NoCal. I'm sure he will check in with a recap of the final miles of the trail. Thanks for following!
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear! Congrats on another amazing hike!
ReplyDeleteThanks Skyhiker, I'm relieved to be done now. Michael, thanks for posting all of these cool mapped updates!
