Just sitting here in the lobby of the Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Resort and Spa, enjoying their brownie sundaes and wi-fi!
We got here this afternoon and restocked our food supply, soaked in the healing waters, and did some laundry.
Getting ready to head out and camp for the night, so we can get an early start tomorrow. Our packs are dishearteningly heavy with 6 days + of food!
We have been lucky enough to have mostly sunny days since our night in Copper, have seen some amazing mountain valleys and passes and been amazed by the kindness of both friends and strangers!
Heading from here to Lake Molas and then hopefully onto Durango...
Aches and pains are quite prevalent for both of us, so we are pairing down the mileage and daily speed. The descents have proven most difficult on my knees, but a combination of Hal taking some of my pack weight plus multiple ibuprofen doses a day is keeping the pain and swelling down...
Good night for now!!!
I'm disappointed to hear you are getting tired...FKT in jeapordy? Put your heads down and get moving! TFN
