The Latest from the Field

Roger reported in for the Gila Monsters yesterday, having found a bar of cell reception in the wilds of New Mexico. From the sound of things the team is having an excellent trip, and although some planned-for water sources are dry, others are bubbling up unexpected. On Tuesday they put in 16.6 miles, pushing on another 12.1 yesterday to Wagon Tongue Mountain.

No word from Ken and Co., although having a satellite phone along doesn't always guarantee steady communication. Reception can be patchy (it was a little shaky while I was testing it from sunny Boulder, CO), and batteries can run dry in a hurry. Check back for updates later today...
