Greetings from Pie Town, NM! We arrived yesterday just in time to get some food and eat some delicious pie. Pie Town is not so much a town as it is an area with a few churches, two restaurants famous for their pie and an awesome hostel for hikers, bikers and anyone traveling. We took our first zero today ( day off-hiked zero miles) which felt great! We have been doing big miles the past week and our bodies need the rest. It has been an amazing last ten days since Silver City, the trail has been so varied and early this week we went through what had been my favorite part of the trail so far; the Gila River. After a week in the dry desert the river was a welcomed change. But we did not just walk along the river, we crossed it (waded through it) for five days. On Monday alone, we counted 75 river crossings! The water was extremely refreshing as it was still very hot during the day, but quite the way to start the day when it's only in the 40's-brrrr! None the less the Gila river is a beautiful place, in a deep canyon, winding along for miles and miles.

Another one of our favorite things about the Gila is that there are a number of natural hot springs along the river which felt really good so soak in!

At the moment I'm sitting in the only place in town where I can get any service, and there is not enough for me to upload pictures, so apologies but I will post more when I'm in town next week. Thanks for reading, happy trails! -Jetpack
