What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (50 Viewers)

[BILT4ME]

I drove across the Great Divide Basin in southern WY, searching for CDT hikers to give them food, drink, and shade. It was about 100 miles of two track like this. This is exactly what I love my Land Cruiser for: any road on the map, I can probably drive it without knowing exactly what I am going to come up against. Most of it was super easy nice cruising, but there were some steep washes and hills to go over that would have stopped a lot of vehicles.

Do you do that because you WANT to, is it a JOB, or ???

Just seems random to drive around in a large area like that just to look for people that may or may not be there........ Unless you're in S&R.

It's not a job. Just being nice and paying back what I have gotten a lot of (random people giving me things while walking across the country). It's part of long distance hiking culture.

Whenever my wife and i do short stints on the AT or Benton McKaye we always bring extra's for through hikers.
Water,meds,fruit,kind of like mini care packages.
Insecr repellant is highly prized

Awesome abassadorship for the 4x4 community. Some hikers are all about banning vehicles from areas; until offered cool water or they roll their ankle and get offered a ride

there is another guy on another forum i have read some of his post's about ferrying through hikers to town and letting them stay at his place.
i can't say "ferrying " is common practice but people do it.

This is awesome many years ago I thought about doing the CDT and carrying enough water is a challenge. You have to have people stash water in some places. Very cool that you’re out there giving back!

Turned over 264,000 miles on Black Bear Pass above Telluride, CO. In the Rain and hail.

From Ophir Pass, i think.

Last one is the water crossing at the start of Imogene.

3 Link and Y link did awesome.
