The boyz have rolled into Silverton after having completed 5 segments and 73.9 miles of mostly uphill terrain. Trail conditions for the last two segments have been wet with multiple snowfield crossings. For you experienced trekkers out there, you know how tedious crossing snow fields can be. Not to mention how difficult route finding can be when you can't see the trail Gumby and the Deuce are happy they started from the south as there are still segments in the north that are impassable.
Upon their arrival to Silverton they consumed BBQ chicken and beef followed later by pizza and a few beers Why would they be so hungary?
Yesterday Tim tweaked his knee crossing a snowfield and Pat his back crossing a creek the risks on high altitude hiking
This AM they departed the comforts of Silverton for the T-storms of the San Juans. The next few days will be spent above 12,000 feet. Ouch. That is high.
Stay tuned!
