Last night Gavin's Gang got back from the Gila Wilderness of New Mexico. Spending 6 days in complete isolation with no running water or facilities is a real test of character. We all passed. We all liked what we did*. I haven't shaved in almost 2 weeks. I will shave this weekend though. About New Mexico:
~ all the "rogue" wolves of Arizona get captured and dumped in NM
~ ranks near the bottom in education and the top in teen pregnancy
~ it is not "new" nor is it "mexico"
I learned all this from Silver City native and US Forest Service self-titled "wage whore," Phil.
I have 5 days off now so tell me how to spend it. I do know alcohol** is probably involved. Sorry no pictures to post right now. WAIT. Thanks for the letter, Kristin.
* - rebuilding a trail through Burnt Canyon
** - Boone's Farm (the blue one, Keith)
Fact: we estimate that we hiked approximately 40 miles over 6 days. Do the math.
