Almost There

We have made it to Lake City where we are taking a much deserved rest day (complete with showers, internet, and possibly cell service later today).  We have hiked approximately 350 miles and have just over 130 miles left to get to Durango.

Since our last post we have walked along the continental divide, taken a wrong turn that cost 3 miles and about an hour to correct, camped at 12,500 feet, summited San Luis Peak (14, 014 feet), and came within 50 feet of a Moose.

Here is a taste of what we've done and seen so far.

Bags are packed
