11 October 2010, Rome - General view of the afternoon segment of the opening of the 36th session of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS), FAO headquarters (Plenary Hall). The CFS is a high-level intergovernmental body focusing on world food security. It acts as a key UN multi-stakeholder forum for discussion, coordination and policy convergence aimed at addressing the roots of hunger and malnutrition. In 2009 the CFS initiated reforms aimed at involving a wider range of participants, including civil society, and increasing its ability to promote polices that reduce food insecurity.

Day 12
dispersed camping area near Mount Shavano trailhead
Today was the last day of hiking during this trip. I camped right near the trailhead so I was able to start hiking early. It was a short dayhike of about 3 miles out and 3 miles back. Fairly easy hiking below treeline on Segment 14. Mount Shavano, a 14er, was nearby but I did not hike it.

Day 4 (Segment 27)
random campsite to Bridge site
Whenever I see the distant mountains and peaks and passes, I wonder which way the trail will go. You never can tell until you get there however. The looming La Plata Mountain Range kept getting closer and closer and was thrilling to behold. Since the peaks were so sharp and the passes did not look passable, I was fairly certain the trail was not heading that way. It didn’t. The footpath wandered along the steep ridge amidst gentle high plains and steep sidehill. There were loose talus fields and large boulders to navigate. It was spectacular!
Now I was following Indian Trail Ridge, which straddles the borders of Montezuma and La Plata counties and offers sweeping panoramic views. I was glad not to have to worry about bad weather. Throughout my section hiking of the Colorado Trail, I endured all of the weather imaginable: rain, cold, wind, thunderstorms, some snow. Other than getting dumped a ton of snow, thunderstorms are the biggest weather threat, especially while above treeline. I don’t think anyone wants to get struck by lightning. Fortunately, I was always able to avoid that dangerous situation.
A selection of photos put together in a grid. These were taken as part of a project exploring the body. I focused on its differences and simalarities-for example finding scars, blemishes and different muscles/bone structures in a range of individuals.
I went outside today and found a very long (over a meter in length) icicle hanging off of the roof of the outer genkan. I don't know what caused the segmentation of the ice...

Day 2
Segment 9 random pond to Segment 10 random spot
So now into Segment 10. I crossed another bridge at Busk Creek and then over Hagerman Pass Rd. Crossed another dirt road just before entering another Wilderness Area. This one was Mount Massive Wilderness Area, which includes Mount Massive. The second highest point in Colorado at 14,421'. The hiking was pretty good, mostly in the trees with the occasional view. Rather typical actually. Lots of rocks, steep side hill, some switchbacks, etc. Saw some aspens but not many. Large boulders were strewn about on the way to Rock Creek where there is a large camping area.
Encountered a number of hikers today. A dayhiker with a dog and some other Colorado Trail hikers. One of the CTers, also with 2 dogs, was doing like I was and filling in some gaps. A few hiking the Continental Divide Trail cruised past while I was making an early dinner at North Willow Creek.
I was planning to camp closer to the Mount Massive Trail, but since I had decided not to hike it at this time, I found a suitable spot about .5 mile past the intersection. I ran out of water just as I got to camp. Fortunately, while searching for a suitable branch to hang my food, I found a small spring. There was also the ruins of an old cabin. 13.2 miles for the day.
The northern segment of the California & Nevada border lies exactly along 120 degrees longitude, right? Well, so thought Allexey Von Schmidt, surveyor of the line in 1872, and is so inscribed on his cast iron marker. But he was off a bit; the marker is 160 meters west of 120 deg. **
Von Schmidt reckoned the location of the 42nd Parallel, the defined Calif / Oregon border, to be as inscribed on the marker's north side: "OREGON 170 MILES 47 CHAINS" (a chain being equal to 66 feet). Again he was off some, south by 539 meters. But in the end, the Von Schmidt line became the legal border. Considering the very difficult topography surveyed, I think he did a reasonably good job using the equipment of the day.
The full interesting story can be read here:

This marker is a beast to photograph. It is secured within a small enclosure with difficult shadows, lighting, angles, weeds, etc. I managed some barely usable images by poking the lens through the fencing.

** Precise longitude was still very difficult in 1872. Von Schmidt was aided by the calculations of George Davidson who used astronomical methods and electronic time signals by telegraph from San Francisco to locate the 120 meridian along the railroad and the Truckee River near today's Verdi, CA.

Segment 1. Waterton Canyon is the Denver terminus for The Colorado Trail. The trailhead, parking and 6-mile canyon are administered by Denver Water and open to hike, bike and horse. It is, however, closed to dogs in order to preserve the wildlife habitat. Though you travel a wide gravel road, it's alongside the South Platte River where wildlife is abundant and often seen. The road is closed to public vehicles, but open to administrative vehicles, of which there are normally few. Many users enjoy this section of the CT and it serves as a good warm-up. (1)
**I was scoping out the trailhead before beginning my section hike on 8/8/15. After this I drove to Breckenridge. I had made arrangements to park my car at The Bivvi while I hiked. Unfortunately, I did not reserve a space to sleep, so I was unable to stay the night. No tenting available. If planning to stay at The Bivvi, suggest to make a reservation. Hikers are not the only clientele and since Breckenridge can be busy, the hostel may be full upon arrival.

Day 7 random campsite (Segment 21) to Spring Creek Pass
The trail follows Snow Mesa for approximately 5 miles. Very easy walking but also completely exposed. The footpath was etched out and clearly visible for miles in this barren landscape which featured a dry pond. Far off in the distance, many peaks are visible, one of which looks like the Swiss Matterhorn but is Uncompahgre Peak. At 14,321, a very prominent Uncompahgre is the highest summit in the San Juan Mountains. The final 2 miles of the segment (and my hike) begin at the edge of the Mesa.
It wasn't too steep but at this point I was anxious to complete this adventure and make it back to my car. I was also beginning to wonder about the mouse in my car. Several bikers were coming up as I hiked down this initially narrow drainage. I didn't see the trailhead until almost there.
Overall a great hike this year. The beginning of the San Juans did not disappoint. The peanut butter worked and fortunately the mouse did not destroy the interior of my car (unfortunate for the mouse though).

Day 8
random campsite (Segment 15) to Salida, CO
And then the changed plans are meant to be changed. I slept well, in the 40s, but in the morning, as I started hiking, my knee was still hurting. And this was mostly flat, downhill grade. As I was considering my options, I knew I didn't want to hike 70 more miles in pain. I made it to South Fooses Creek trailhead. Of course, I couldn't find a confidence marker or an actual trail for that matter. The databook was not helpful either. I had to check the CT hiker app which seemed to indicate that the road was the trail.
So I followed the road and kept checking the app. I stayed on course and finally made it to Fooses Lake and then to US50. Almost 3 miles on the road with no indication from the databook that I should even be on the road. I only saw 2 confidence markers. Not helpful, as I was already committed to following the road.
I made it to US50 with the decision to go to Salida and then tomorrow somehow make it to Silver Creek trailhead between Segments 12 & 13 and finish hiking to my car. I'll miss a section, but I won't have to hike in pain for 70 miles instead only about 27 miles. Hopefully my knee will be better.
