Denver, Colorado
Random Thoughts
Snippets of songs that ran through my head (some of them make sense given the surroundings, some I have no idea how they got there)
- Theme from the Greatest American Hero (I have no idea where this came from)
- Kokomo - The Beach Boys
- Let it Rain - Amanda Marshall
- Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves
- West…
Jeff Stephan It sounds like a fantastic trip Nancy. I think you burned more than 5,000 calories on this 19 mile day so make sure you order a couple of Guinness with your next steak dinner (which includes dessert) at the next town you come across - I hope that image helps you slog it through any tough patch Good luck! The gang at Sonia's cottage were and are rooting for you.
re: 1 Mile Past Guller Creek, ColoradoMark McNally Nancy, Great to hear your trip is going well. Just back from vacation and read your daily blogs. Sounds like you should consider the IronMan Triathalon when you finish the trip based on the shape you're in. Forest fires sound like no fun although seems like they may have scared away the bears (hopefully)

re: South Platte Canyon, ColoradoNancy Dormer Dave, I'm thinking that I could be almost 10 pounds lighter than my JMT weight! Switching my backpack alone saved me 5 pounds (why didn't I do this sooner?!?)
re: Gear for the hikeDave Johnson You'll be more than 5 pounds lighter than your '07 JMT weight, I'm thinking, with this gear! Love my NeoAir.
