Continental Divide Trail mapApologies for the lateness of this post; I was having way too much fun finding cool stuff for it! Anyway, I have totaled up our mileage for the first week of February (except for [personal profile] silveraspen and [personal profile] liv who did not post their miles/kms and hours – please just add them to next week's numbers) and I am delighted to say that we have come 172.9 miles (22.6% of our planned 766.5, so we're a little behind but not bad) and done 23 hours and 15 minutes – just under a solid day – of other active stuff. So, what are we doing with it?

Well, as most of you know, I live in Colorado. The Continental Divide goes through Colorado, as does the Continental Divide Trail, which more or less tracks the divide – in fact, it passes about 60 miles to the east of where I live. So I thought maybe we'd follow the CDT from south to north and see how far we get!

The nearly 173 miles we've run has taken us from Cumbres Pass near the New Mexico border through the San Juan National Forest and into the Rio Grande National Forest.

Photos, links, and a few videos of what we have seen so far... )

Here's our progress on the map:
