more gear...
My buddy Beaker and some others rented a van and are going to pick up the trail north of here, then come back later to finish this section. Same for my brothers from Warrior Hike - they're flipping out of Pagosa Springs. Some hikers are just going to wait a while until more of the snow melts. Me? I've got to keep moving north. Even if I have to take lower elevation routes or road walk. I HAVE to WALK from Mexico to Canada. So many people are helping me with this hike - I can't let them down. Gotta find a way...
Resupply has been working like a fine oiled machine. Generous folks have been contributing food and gear (thanks for the snow shoes, Burning Boots Trail Club!) and Martha has been getting it to me on the trail. Like Stafford handing off to Bush for a huge gain, I can sprint by the post office and grab my resupply box in stride. Huge thanks to Camp Champaign.
Shipping boxes is eating away at the budget. If you want to help me with this hike, please click on the 'donate' button. Every bit is appreciated.

Looking good in the photos Wolverine! Keep up the good work and stay safe. Good luck with the snow - where there is a will there's a way! - Typo
My Brotha Typo! Always good to hear from you. Thanks for the kind words.
Chris was at Monarch Pass today resupplying at the Monarch Store and is doing good. His phone is not working due to falling into Cochetopa Creek a few days ago. GO WOLVERINE!
My names Rick Shauvin....I'm riding the GDMBR on my mountain bike. I ran into Chris this morning in Salida and we chatted for a bit.....he's had a heck of a time including ruining his phone in a river crossing.....but he's alive and well with a huge smile on his face and is heading for Leadville soon!
Wolverine, Warrior Hike went from South Pass City, WY to Encampment, WY. From there we'll flip to Marshall Pass, CO and head South to Pogosa Springs, CO and then flip back up. Water in WY Great Basin matches Bear Creek maps, except Alki Creek is dry. Can't wait to play with new snow shoes. See you somewhere on the trail bro'. Greyhound
