## Resource

In this episode, Doc sits down with 2026 CDT Trail Correspondent Jared "Fisherman" Lampal, who has officially survived the blistering desert of New Mexico and is currently checking "State #1" off his completionist master list. Jared debuts a rare, blonde trail-fuzz beard and shatters all romantic notions of wilderness solitude by revealing that the CDT is surprisingly packed with social tramilies, with roughly 10% of the entire 2026 registration pool currently hiding out in Chama. The highlight of his trip involves treating the trail less like a strict red line and more like a loose, "choose-your-own-adventure" corridor , which apparently includes scooping murky, algae-ridden cocktail water straight out of a dirt circle surrounded by cow poop.
