May 24 to May 27:
Mile 862
I took a few photos on the first day climbing to 12,000′.
However by the second day I was too busy surviving to take photos. Photos of me postholing up to my thighs or with my head stuck in ice after falling forward losing my balance would be of no interest to anyone.
I am lucky to have not broken a leg.
One good note is I finally was able to glissade down a slope with my pack on.
My feet were either in water or snow 99% of the time. I was saved by sealskin socks.
I am currently in Pagosa Springs trying to forget the trail. It may require a few margaritas.

Jeez ……you cant make this stuff up !!!! I was all worried and then , as usual I googled where you were and felt MY relief at seeing there is a Starbucks and hot spring….imagine YOU were fairly chuffed !
Edward tells me that you have to find the trail by satellite ….so……it probably wouldnt be your fault if you were to end up in Telluride ?? for a week or two ……

The photos are beautiful, but it sounds like it is extremely challenging terrain. Take care my friend. You are many times braver than I.
I think about you every day. Stay safe.
