The Trek Day 01 - 27th Sep
The group had to meet at the trek hotel at 7:30am. The bus was sitting at the front door when we got there. The tour leader Dawn introduced herself and gave us our briefing and guidelines for the trek and that day.
We got on the road, our first stop was Red Rock Amphitheatre, the second largest natural outdoor theatre in the world.
We slept in a little town called Ouary. We pitched our tents and built a campfire. We sat round the campfire and got to know each other. There was 8 of us and the tour leader. The tour leader is Dawn, a crazzy Jersey girl who lives in the van. Britta a Swede who we pestered about Henkie Larsson and who was literally swept off her feet by andy in Telluride. Jiyoun a South Korean from Sol - I don't think she had met any Scots boys before. She had the unfortunate task of teaching me how to cook. Aileen from Berlin, the oldest of the group and really cool - she loved the party seen in Vegas. Aliy and Jamie a couple from Sussex where really friendly. Jamie is a total pyro but given the cold it was probably a good thing, Aliy was our chain smoking happy snapper. Finally Jon a really nice boy from Surrey, he was a total calamity who managed to wreck at least 2 pairs of jeans on the trip.
Day 02
Just outside Ouray there was hot springs and after the cold night It was very welcome to get a heat.
Then on to Telluride...
