Silver

  • CDT NM 2025 Day 7, Sunday, April 13
  • Start mile 142.5 water tank
  • End mile 0.7 of Walnut Creek Alternate starting at mile 156.3
  • Miles walked: 14.5

The route into Silver City requires a 11.6 mile hike along Highway 180. Not ideal, but best done first thing in the cool of the morning.

My lodging is at Stonehouse Inn, an AirBnB with hiker amenities: shared kitchen, laundry, close to downtown, optional outdoor shower, Cody the dog to pet, and a lurking cat.

No other hikers were at Stonehouse with me, and I saw none while walking in Silver City.

Adobe Springs has a nice shady outdoor eating area, and provides the inevitable image of a hamburger that seems to be included in all my hiking journals.

Food Basket provided resupply, then I  walk back to my lodging to repackage, and relax a bit.

Finished audiobook A Horse’s Tale, by Mark Twain.
