July 5 - Segment 27 is in the books!

Gumby and the Deuce hiked segment 27 yesterday and today, on their way to the Mile Hi City, and they reported a dozen down trees, a few snow drifts and improving conditions. Nice. It seems like the unusually high snow pack this year has yet to have an impact on their walk. With segment 27 complete they are now entering Segment 26. Seg 26, 25 and 24 are very isolated. However, by Thursday they intend to be finishing Segment 24 (Molas Pass) and headed into Silverton for some supplies, hot shower and a cold brew. Heavy on the cold brew.

They did run into a down fawn today. It was just a few feet off the trail. Not much you can do about that as there are not too many vet clinics in the area!

More later. Adios.

  1. Thanks for the updates. Talked to Tim about 7pm and they were still hiking looking for a place to camp. It was a 20 mile day today!
