Snakes aren't much of a concern on the CDT.<br /><br />I saw about fifteen bears or so. Had one black bear hanging around my camp one evening, other than that didn't have any bear problems. By following the basic bear precautions you are highly unlikely to have any serious bear problems.<br /><br />Have fun!<br /><br />BuckBuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15968411775993981986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15465453.post-24502569270737480032009-06-22T11:28:22.022-08:002009-06-22T11:28:22.022-08:00Buck

I started following your CDT trip while you were in NM and was hoping to run into you around Salida, CO. I volunteered as a mountain guide for a high adventure youth camp in that area in early June. Looks like I missed you by a month. I was looking forward to going back to hit the 14ers in late July, but that plan has been changed. I have to do another round of chemo, so will have to save that trip for the future. As a result, I'm really enjoying reading up on your trip progress.
