    Hey Ramdino, good to see you're ok now after that rough hike on the last video. Thanks so much for your dedication to all the hikers out there. You keep the hiking community together with your update videos and trail reports. What some nasty person who is slicing the water caches! Unreal. So Sadie hasn't been found yet. I sure hope she's at least with someone who is caring for her. Keep up your wonderful work and God bless.

    If you’re a solo female, steer clear of this guy. Jay and I used him for a ride not knowing and he insisted we see his garage setup for hikers before bringing us to our hotel. He says he located his own spring and that’s why he stabs all the caches so you have to use the water he found.

    Ramdino, Call the guy out. In the heat people need all the extra help on trail they can get. Why would anyone destroy the water and water jugs anyway? Sounds like this guy needs some mental help and chased off. Maybe if his name is put out there Hikers can shun his place and he can go broke. I might be a little more extreme in my thoughts. But here on the CDT there are places where there just isn't water, So a water carry might be 5 to 6 liters and still hoping you find a refill. Sorry if I am over stepping my thoughts here. It just makes me mad that some clown thinks he sets the rules and what help anyone can get or have.
