Gail and Greg navigated and postholed through 95% snow for a week. Gail said they were doing one mile an hour much of the time. She's calling it quits for real this time. This year is not the year for hiking the CDT - it's neither fun nor safe. It sounded much more like walking to the South Pole.
Greg and Rhianna kidnapped her and whisked her off to Durango, where she's currently doing the shower/eat/drink/sleep thing and is plotting her return home. She will pick up the CDT next summer, although she's not sure of the order yet. Although she's not generally a very good quitter, she's in very good spirits and is looking forward to coming home, reorganizing her gear and resetting her sights.
