And we’re off! With the Mexico border at our backs this, this is us starting our walk towards Canada :)

Alongside the Big Hatchet Range, on the outlet of Thompson Canyon. Our man Sam had left us a couple of gallons of water here, and after 17 odd miles, we were too beat to carry on.

There’s no running water out here in the desert, these things pump it from the water table and are our only source. We ran out of water about 10 miles before we hit this one, so were a bit parched when we arrived! Took advantage of the only tree for miles and miles and had a nice long break in the shade.

Yeah it wasn’t actually that bad, I’ve seen greener water. We filtered it and it was fine. Impressive amount of cow shit around though, most turds I’ve ever seen in one place!

Ishould probably explain for those who aren’t aware of mine and Paul fascination with views from our poos… These are genuine throne placements, we really did take a shit while looking at this exact view!

What do we have here? A tractor tire in cow shit central, full of green water, get your kit off Paul it’s bath time!

The sunrises, sunsets and starry nights are truely awesome here in New Mexico. It’s just the middle of the day that’s a bit grim!
