Gumby, Pop Tart and the Deuce are lounging around the world class Leadville Hostel (watch out for the hot water) devouring cheeseburgers, onion rings, and get this, POP TARTS, as they prepare for the next 170 miles. That’s right, the kids have 316 in the book and, from what I hear, it is all downhill from Leadville. Only 170 miles to go. They finished, around noon, at the well known Half Moon campground, trailhead for Colorado’s highest peak, Mount Elbert. Tomorrow they will start at the foot of Mt Massive and will camp near Turquoise Lake before heading over Tennessee Pass and onto Camp Hale, home of the 10th Mountain Division.
I just talked to Hawkeye. They had another grand feast, this time pasta and garlic bread, and are headed to another round of hot showers and some shut-eye.
Keep the boys in your prayers.
Adios.
