Hi Matt,
I am glad you enjoyed my trip report. If I remember correctly, I made it to Fence Lake before lunch sometime. Maybe mid to late morning. As I said in my report, the first two days were very long and probably should have been done in 3 days. You might consider finishing in Reserve and taking it a little slower than I did. If you only have four days you might want to begin in Truth or Consequences and do the entire northern part. Although I enjoyed the variety of terrain the NMBDR has to offer I liked the mountains and trees better than the desert.
Safe Travels,
David
