So we left the campground at 6:00 am or so.
From the campground to Platoro is a well used dirt road that follows the Conejos River.
Due to bad signage we ended up at Skyline for lunch. Good thing as the restaurant we were looking for was closed.
Internet was not free but was a charge by device and megabyte so we passed on their internet.
Owner was very friendly.
We had done fifteen miles by 11:40 and the wind was really rough. We were really taking a beating.
So we got to Gold Pan for a resupply and showers and internet. JJ took great care of us.
More hikers and one biker here too.
Vegetables and meatballs and garlic bread and beer (I had Root beer) for dinner.
