Like everyone else we are flipping around Colorado. Our plan is to hit Rawlins and head north. Basically doing the Great Basin before it gets hot and giving things a chance to melt.
We have a wedding (mailed clothes for it to a Mail Drop) and GenCon (more clothes mailed) to go to. Hope to get the north done and then head south.
Will see how it goes. Hoping it works out so that we miss the Colorado Monsoons and the worst of the snow while not running the risk of weather closing off the trail for us.
It has been strange. It was a low snow year until the end then there was a lot of late season snow. Colorado reports are all of 5-7 feet of snow instead of clear. What an unfortunate late season development.
Pneumonia wasn’t pleasant but family was wonderful.
Happy repaired two sets of hiking poles and bought the famous Costco ones as well. A repaired set goes back on the trail with us.
All three BeFree filters have been cleaned out. I have a hundred purification tabs. We have food for five days.
New shoes. Repaired my InReach. Replaced phone screen protectors. Renewed permethrin. Repaired the rips in my sun hoodie.

Happy has a new sun hoodie (the Alpenglow wasn’t shedding all the smell when washed).
We’ve made good use of the time.
