8/19 Buena Vista

Well, we made it. I don't think 4-5 of my posts published, so here's what you've missed...

We got Bo taken care of, and a ride to Denver with people to watch him.

Watched the Animas river turn yellow, glad it was not a water source!

Crossed through 2-3 wilderness areas.

Passed the half way point, and hiked over 200 miles.

Did lots of road walking to get from mountain range to mountain range.

Hung out in a cool horse trailer for an afternoon.

Ran out of fuel, so it has been fire, or don't eat. We've been having lots of fires. Hope to get fuel this morning...

Split with the continental divide trail.

Camped on the top of a mountain and saw literally every star in the northern hemisphere. Was awoken by a furious thunder battle, and after that passed, we heard a chorus of coyotes all morning.

Hiked 5 miles the wrong way, yes we hiked the 5 miles back making it a 10 mile detour. However, we did get ice cream and sandwiches.

Stephie is pondering between Fievel, and Tiger Lilly for a trail name.

And made it to Buena Vista.
