Tour of Ghost Ranch & hiking to Cuba, NM | CDT Days 124-125

[@michaelbailot5479]

I lived in a remote cabin above Cuba for a severe winter. I was snowed in for three months, melted snow for water, and hauled in my food through waist high snow. Coyotes, cougars and elk kept me company. Oh that silence. Happy trails!

[@rockercover]

Thank you for some details about Ghost Ranch. Interesting history.

[@matthewmcguire5217]

The floating tree was epic!

[@SnowboardJedi]

Bigfoot did it

[@RickINFJ]

Thanks for the Ghost Ranch tour 9L! 👍 Love me some history. I've never seen a floatin' tree before, no ma'am. Widowmaker done had second thoughts. 😂

[@carolwerner3881]

What a cool place. The scenery sure has changed. Love the sw vibe

[@jerryfoust3860]

Kelly! So glad you discovered and were able to take some respite at the Ranch. I live about an hour from there in Cuba. My kids grew up visiting GR in the summers and I’ve attended numerous summer courses there since 1978. There’s a great book on the Ranch that you may have seen in the little store in the headquarters by Lesley Polling-Kempis. CDT hikers ordinarily pass in front of my house on their way through Cuba. I’ll say Hi if I happen to see you lumbering by.

[@mannyg53]

What happened to the rest of your group, we haven’t seen them in a few days. Did they take a different route?

[@clc251]

The ghost ranch appears wonderful! I have to visit thanks. Your voice has been great to hear thru out your journey. You have a voice your narration for sure.

[@johnelliott5923]

Great job Kellie love it when you stop and give us information on cool places ! Thank you!❤

[@rangerinthewoods]

I actually have seen a floating tree in a lake. It was completely vertical with the root ball just barely at the surface. My Chief Ranger and I tied a marker float on it.

[@jasonjones5213]

That whole trail is beautiful.

[@crmasek39]

Trail and side adventures look amazing. Thank you for sharing it.

[@MikeR-ig5bw]

Very, very nice overview of Ghost Ranch!

[@pierrrejette9023]

Regular life never feels satisfying after living such a long intense adventure. The key is to work on the next one while resting the body. Enjoy the last bit of this journey, and thank you for the beautiful videos.

[@hhawg1]

[@RidgeWalker8414]

9L...you should have taken a photo that looked like you were lifting that hanging tree. Also, thanks for taking the time and effort to share the history of Ghost ranch. Makes for a nice little mix, then back on trail.

[@billyshears921]

I need to head west. Please do PCT, this great trip is coming to a close, sad to say.

[@RolandKrastins]

Todays stop has a Halloween 🦇 theme Ghost ranch ,scary stories, floating tree 🎄 that is a widow maker and finding lots of skeletons!😮

[@christina41453]

Hey Kelly, a trick I do when I have little water is to hold it in my mouth for awhile before swallowing. Coats your mouth and gives the perception of more hydration 👍

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdeee Kelleeee! Thanks again! Love NM!

[@hikerbikerclutz8377]

Always love your vids 💛! Cowboy Ranch is so cool.

[@TimmyCramer]

Are you linking up with Peg Leg again or finishing on your own?

[@jerryfoust3860]

And yes, of course, I subscribed.

[@johnnysmith3014]

I love it when you talk to the animals. Lol

[@claramullen]

Now that is a widow maker you definitely want to avoid.

[@johndonahue4777]

I got the creeps in New Heximo. It looked all gloomy.

[@SnowboardJedi]

It's turned into "Couples* on the CDT!

[@christina41453]

Strengthening the inner thighs helps with ankles, keeps them from rolling 👍

[@Ja50nkAt]

What happened to Pegleg and Syrup? Haven't seen them in a while.

[@rubyclaire8807]

She posted that they hiked ahead. She said they are in more of a hurry to finish than she is as they approach the end.

[@Ja50nkAt]

@@rubyclaire8807 Oh, didn't catch that, thanks!

[@sallys2423]

As a certain tik-toker would say "A floatin' tree? What in the Harry Potter?!"

[@chrissaunders8284]

Are all hiking sleep solutions for back sleepers or can people get a good night's rest on their stomach and sides?.

[@joshuasasfire2759]

Don’t whistle at night in New Mexico!

[@wilburfistdagash8327]

Missed that---almost vocal Frye (but not) . It’s more of a tired, raspy thing

[@walteragentplummer7031]

❤

[@motherdaughtertravels]

How many miles to go?

[@SalPane1224]

[@cm2046]

[@iggyrojano1978]

[@williambranch4283]

[@JohnsTinyWoodshop]

[@tonylama2012]

[@johnwilliams640]

[@Jaxon1776]

Do you miss your cat?

[@Cambiumchuck]

Will you and Syrup continue your "relationship" off the trail...Kidding... it's none of our business don't answer. Just razzing you.

[@kevinscott660]
