Day 16: Fed a Bird a Frito

Woke to coyotes howling at Aragon Well and started on the final stretch to "Nita's Toaster House" in Pie Town, NM.

 

Met bikepacker and Ex-CDT hiker Og on the road after passing up a poor looking water source.

 

My left knee tweaked today which caught me off guard, and went the wrong way, only a half of a mile this time.

 

Fed a bird a Frito at a water pump at the last part of my day, after seeing the distant smoke from the Baca forest fire rising off a mountain west of the road walk.

 

Was grateful that a Rancher let us camp on his land despite him having no trespassing signs on the barbed wire fences that bordered every inch of road after feeding the bird a Frito at the water.
