 for some reason).  

Sorry to hear about your resupply problem.  I used UPS to ship to Big Sandy, 
and had absolutely no problem with delivery to S. Pass City.  In fact, I sent 
a first class envelope there last Friday afternoon and it was there Tuesday 
morning!  I've had slower deliveries across-town.

 for the divide basin, so I followed the official
 route (mostly).  The water sources were all pretty
 decent, never more than ~18 miles between... and
 most of them were rather clean.  

Glad to hear your good news about the water sources in the GDB.  Brian is 
crossing the basin now, and should reach Rawlins sometime tomorrow 
(Saturday.)  

<< I'm on track to
 be in the San Juans by 2nd week in October.  Every
 other person I meet either says "that's way too
 late" or "that's no problem at all"... I guess 
 we'll see what mother nature has to say.

Let's hope the optimists are right.  Brian plans to reach Cumbres Pass about 
September 23rd.  He will probably cross paths with you somewhere down toward 
Steamboat Springs.  Have a great hike!
