Day 2
Segment 9 random pond to Segment 10 random spot
So now into Segment 10. I crossed another bridge at Busk Creek and then over Hagerman Pass Rd. Crossed another dirt road just before entering another Wilderness Area. This one was Mount Massive Wilderness Area, which includes Mount Massive. The second highest point in Colorado at 14,421'. The hiking was pretty good, mostly in the trees with the occasional view. Rather typical actually. Lots of rocks, steep side hill, some switchbacks, etc. Saw some aspens but not many. Large boulders were strewn about on the way to Rock Creek where there is a large camping area.
Encountered a number of hikers today. A dayhiker with a dog and some other Colorado Trail hikers. One of the CTers, also with 2 dogs, was doing like I was and filling in some gaps. A few hiking the Continental Divide Trail cruised past while I was making an early dinner at North Willow Creek.
I was planning to camp closer to the Mount Massive Trail, but since I had decided not to hike it at this time, I found a suitable spot about .5 mile past the intersection. I ran out of water just as I got to camp. Fortunately, while searching for a suitable branch to hang my food, I found a small spring. There was also the ruins of an old cabin. 13.2 miles for the day.
Initial work on the design -- it's all in the patterns of "on" and "off" sectors on the disks. As the wheels mesh together, different sectors are revealed through the 7 segment windows.
The three segment disks are at the top, using different shades for the different segments to make verification a little easier. Along the bottom I'm testing '0'... '4'.

Segment 1
After dropping my vehicle off at The Bivvi in Breckenridge, I made my way back to the Waterton Trailhead via an early morning shuttle (to DIA), 2 bus rides (to Union Station and then to Highlands Ranch Town Center) and then a taxi (to trailhead). It was about 2 o'clock when I finally started hiking. It was hot, in the low 90s with little shade. Following South Platte river was very easy hiking. The 'footpath' (it is actually a service road) is wide and accommodating to the many hikers and bikers out for the day. There were bighorn sheep, as well.
Shortly after Strontia Springs Dam (mile 6.2), the 'trail' finally turns into a trail and starts climbing. Strontia Springs Dam was completed in 1983 and is 243 feet high. I took a short break here while watching the bighorn sheep. Camping is not allowed in Waterton Canyon along the South Platte, so I still had a couple more miles of hiking to do.
The trail was no longer flat but it really wasn't that difficult either. It enters the woods past a memorial bench (Lenny's Rest) and starts to switchback to the top. My destination for the night was somewhere near Bear Creek, not too much further.
I arrived at the camp site (mile 8.6) at approximately 1800 (6 o'clock). This is an established camp site with room for several tents. There were 2 tents already there with another one nearby. The creek was flowing and was the water source.

Day 10
random campsite (Segment 12) to my car at Twin Lakes trailhead
I tried but my knee was not having it. I made the 9 miles to the end of Segment 12 at Clear Creek Road in decent time. Probably around 2 mph, but each step was painful.
The day started at 0603 and about 43f. Great views of the surrounding mountains. At Pine Creek Trail were quite a few campers. It was a nice spot. I took a few breaks but probably not enough. Chatted with some CT hikers and even though I seemed to be making good time, it also seemed like it took forever to get to the bottom.
Once at the bottom I stopped at Clear Creek Bridge to filter some water and to take a short break. Incidentally, I think it was yesterday that I noticed a pinhole leak in Sawyer Mini pouch. Fortunately it is on the bottom, so I was still able to use. This area is Clear Creek Reservoir Campground. A nice free, car camping, spot.
After resting, I crossed bridge and began looking for the trail. I stayed on campground road too long and had to double back some. Finally back on track, it was easy walking or at least it should have been. My leg seized up and that was it. I could barely move.
I still had 9 more miles to go but I knew that it would not be possible. If I had attempted and gotten stranded before reaching the trailhead, it would have been very difficult to get back to the road. There was a dirt road here so I slowly made my way to it. I didn't want to give up, but I really felt it was the best choice to make. I caught a hitch fairly quickly. Travis, from Golden and doing some 14ers, drove me back to my car. Thanks!
I hung out at Twin Lakes trying to decide what to do. Currently camped at Monarch Spur CG again. Tomorrow I'll try a short dayhike on Segment 14 and see what happens. My leg still hurts. 9 miles for the day.
