Well, here we are! We are minutes away from departure and a 45 minute drive to the trailhead. Thanks to Ben’s parents, Bonnie and Joe, who got up extra early to take us this morning. We hope to hike about 11.7 miles today and another 15.7 miles tomorrow. We recently found out that Ben’s brother, David, will be meeting us tomorrow (Saturday) morning at a parking lot to hike one night with us. We’ll be happy to have company!
Our hike today will start at about 5520 feet elevation, and
we will end the day around 7200. As the
trail progresses, we will slowly gain elevation and reach our highest point
further down the trail, topping out at 12760 feet about 7 miles after San Luis
Pass. It will take us a while to get
there.
We should be arriving in Breckenridge, Colorado, sometime
around July 28th or 29th, and so we hope to have another update then. Our goal is to get a hot shower at the rec center, pick up our package at the post office, maybe grab a fresh meal, attempt to find a computer to update the blog, and then head back out to the trail.
Thanks for the prayers and support! We hope to have exciting stories and insights
to share as we go along. Much love to
all of our family in friends!
