I got the tarp cover up to get a dry spot to work
under.
Climb from north to south across the whole
mountain. My front right tire was hanging down in the creek and off the
ground.
However, they are all in some group with a
professional guide.
A couple of trucks stopped by to help and see if we
were OK. We were out trying to find this one property that we wanted to check out.
This is a ghost town now but it used to be one of those old mining towns I
guess.
Right off the bat, we cant find the
trail.
I walked down and saw a small log bridge crossing
the creek behind some trees. That was one of those moments for Becky where you
wonder what you have done.
I caught some sleep but Kim was up with her all
night.
I walked down and saw a small log bridge crossing

My wife is going to be a pissy zombie
tomorrow.
Turns out it was RocketBoom interviewing webcam
folks. GPS shows the car is just over there but we cant seem to get
there.
You cant see any of the surroundings and they kill
the breeze. This is a ghost town now but it used to be one of those old mining towns
I guess.
As we start to descend back to the car, we cross
this spot.
I was right in there with my age group this year
and I didnt train for this specifically. Right off the bat, we cant find the trail.
The homes on the hillside were huge and gorgeous. Too busy trying to get back to
Leadville to get a Belly Buster Burger at Wild Bills! You cant see any of the
surroundings and they kill the breeze.
There is a large lake outside of Leadville called
Turquoise Lake. Sydney wanted to go for a ride on Daddys Bike.
This is one of those moments where you can either
break down or suck it up and grind it out.
So we got back to that junction and went the other
way.
That was one of those moments for Becky where you
wonder what you have done. Remember, the whole traverse thing with one car on each
side? I was right in there with my age group this year and I didnt train for this
specifically.
So now we have trucks positioned at both ends of
the mountain. I swung right a bit and started the turn. The trail is lightly beaten
down so you have to keep you eye out for the turns.
We cant see Mount Massive at this point because we
are down in a basin behind it.
