Jerry runs into “Catdog?”

08/05/20 – I woke up well rested. We had breakfast and were out of camp by about 7:30. Once again, we encountered a large number of bikers.

Jerry Finds Hungry Marmot

08/04/20 – I didn’t sleep very well, which isn’t unusual for the first night on the trail. What were unusual were the animal sounds that woke me in the middle of the night. Definite sounds of footfalls and sniffing near my tent. After spending a fair amount of time envisioning myself as bear food, I unzipped

07/18/20 – We all woke well rested after sleeping amidst some oxygen for the first time in 4 nights! After breakfast, we packed up once again and hit the trail.

Jerry’s Herded by Sheep Dog

07/17/20 – We woke up in a wet camp and had breakfast. Ashley had been having some knee pain during our descents the day before and despite icing it while we were in camp (thanks Lance for trekking to the snow bank!), her knee was very tight and painful this morning. Reluctantly, she and Glenn

Jerry Dodges Pikas

07/16/20 – Slept pretty well and awoke to overcast skies. Hoping that the moisture in the air won’t mean heavy rains today! After breakfast, we packed up wet tents and hit the trail. We hiked lots of ups and downs today as we traversed several valleys and ridges along the vast San Juan range. The
