Poncha Springs Campground
Hey, This is Kim's Mom, Teri. Kim texted me briefly this evening and asked if I could update the blog because they have no internet service right now and very poor cell reception. Kim and Ben are at a campground near Ponch Springs, and I am happy to hear they crossed their halfway mark this morning. When she texted, they were at highway 50 at about mile 253 waiting for a camp store to open so they can get the package they mailed to themselves. They are hoping to be in Creede in 6 days with better cell reception and computer access so she can call and blog. The weather has been mostly good though getting warmer and more humid as they reach slightly lower elevations. Kim and Ben had some awesome trail magic this morning by some river rafters who gave them breakfast burritos, lattes, cobbler, and chocolate cake! I could hear her excitement through the text! I imagine they thought they reached Heaven! Kim said they thought they would stay at the campground but the magic powered them up for their next climb so decided to head back out on the trail. True backpackers!

We were happy to share our breakfast with Kim and Ben. We are a bunch of white water kayakers who have been getting together to camp and boat for over 25 years. I hope they have a fun and safe journey!

ReplyDeleteDear Kim and Ben - I love your blog and thanks for sharing your adventure with me and others - sharing as you said is one of life's best treats. All goes well in Oxford - the garden is giving up its bounty (but no tomatoes yet). Take care. Love, Pat K
