70 miles was our total for this summer on the Colorado Trail. Of the 500 miles of CT between Denver and Durango, Shannon and I have now traversed all but about 50 miles over the years.
These past four segments (#14-17) were only made possible with the kind assistance of my dear daughter Amelia, and a four hour shuttle provided by my old motocross buddy John Glass and his gracious wife Barbara. We've been friends since the 70s and had a great visit with them and their daughters Sarah and Merilee in Monte Vista. Good times.
Here's a really cool video of two brothers thru-hiking the CT a few years back:

Watching this, I can recall vividly almost every section they cross. Shannon and I are home now, warm and comfy in our own bed, and thankful as always for each other's adventurous spirit. Love you, Shannon!
