I stumbled on workers assembling a tower crane at Robson and Granville Streets. Happily, I passed by just as they were starting to raise a new segment to the tower. Unhappily, I only had time to stay for this one segment.
Pretty difficult to see what's going on here. The foreground is actually part of the eventual arm of the crane. It's resting on "sawhorses" (out of frame), hence a few feet off the ground. The segment of the tower is also horizontal, and behind this. You can see the chains if you look closely. The helper crane has just lifted the segment off a flatbed truck, which then drove out from under it. Now the segment is being lowered onto the ground, where the crew will move the chains onto the top end of it for lifting it up.

Went to West Meadow Beach to try to get some sunset pictures but it was cloudy. Luckily, it was also low tide and I got to see some neat things in the water including this 8 foot long worm! Okay, more like 6 inches.

Day 3
Segment 10
random spot to Segment 11 Interlaken Trailhead
Twin Lakes reservoir comprises two lakes. The trail crosses a dam at the far side of the larger lake. There are numerous recreation activities here. Camping possibilities are also abundant. Interlaken Historic Resort is located on the far side.
Phone battery was almost dead but just enough to reserve a room for Friday night at Inn the Clouds hostel in Leadville. Tonight I camped near Mount Massive Trailhead. Camping is allowed almost everywhere on Halfmoon Creek Road. The night before I climbed Elbert a few years ago, I camped along the road so I had a spot in mind that overlooked the creek. Unfortunately, someone turned in there just as I drove up. Oh well, I found another spot.
14.8 trail miles for the day; +1 to hike back to my car.

Day 9
Salida, CO to Avalanche Trailhead (Segment 13) to random campsite (Segment 12)
Darryll arrived on time with his son, Adam, and then we met Brenda and Satori at Princeton Hot Springs. They dropped off a car there. It took much longer to get to their trailhead. I was dropped off at Avalanche trailhead (once we found it) about 3 miles away. Thanks for the rides.
The climb from Avalanche was pretty tough but manageable, of course. My knee did start to hurt though. Brenda had given me some wrap to try which I will tomorrow. At the top it was not above treeline. Mount Yale was nearby. It looked like a nice place to camp.
The downhill was also tough but OK. I met 2 groups doing trail maintenance. Thanks for the Hard Work! One was at Silver Creek trailhead. I stopped and helped them move a rock and then I took a short break.
It started to rain, so I started hiking in Segment 12 now. The rain didn't last but maybe 5 minutes though. It was a long haul to the top, about 9 miles where I finally set-up camp. No other rain threatening until now. I actually though I might get a sunset. Oh well!
I did see a handful of hikers, so everyone didn't do the West side, which I would have suggested. 16.1 total miles for the day.

Day 4
meadow at Texas Creek Road (Collegiate West 02) to random spot above treeline (Collegiate West 03)
I made it to Cottonwood Pass at 1222 (79f at 12,126'). There is a parking area here but the paved road ends here. There were construction crews that I assume were paving the other side of the pass. Just below the pass is a small lake where I got some water. I decided to have an early hot meal and was able to yogi the usage of a runners Coleman Stove. I had a nice long break. It was breezy but not cold.
The next six miles were spectacular, all above treeline and finally in Collegiate West segment 03. Had some tough climbs but overall not too bad. When the footpath is visible for miles and is below the ridge, the mountains are like a fishbowl. I have been referring to that as a fishbowl or 1/2 fishbowl. One long fishbowl stretch was great.
Finally made it over Sanford Saddle (12,750') to see two lakes and/or ponds. I started searching for a flat spot to setup camp for the night. Found a spot near some trees ... exposed and over 12,000 ft. Light rain began to fall. 14.1 total miles for the day.

Day 8
random campsite (Segment 15) to Salida, CO
And then the changed plans are meant to be changed. I slept well, in the 40s, but in the morning, as I started hiking, my knee was still hurting. And this was mostly flat, downhill grade. As I was considering my options, I knew I didn't want to hike 70 more miles in pain. I made it to South Fooses Creek trailhead. Of course, I couldn't find a confidence marker or an actual trail for that matter. The databook was not helpful either. I had to check the CT hiker app which seemed to indicate that the road was the trail.
So I followed the road and kept checking the app. I stayed on course and finally made it to Fooses Lake and then to US50. Almost 3 miles on the road with no indication from the databook that I should even be on the road. I only saw 2 confidence markers. Not helpful, as I was already committed to following the road.
I made it to US50 with the decision to go to Salida and then tomorrow somehow make it to Silver Creek trailhead between Segments 12 & 13 and finish hiking to my car. I'll miss a section, but I won't have to hike in pain for 70 miles instead only about 27 miles. Hopefully my knee will be better.
