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.
A segment from the current set of Greek tourist board commercials ("Greece: the true experience") features folk dancing with these mountains in the background.
Segment 2 is a very dry and exposed section of the Colorado Trail. In 1996 the Buffalo Creek fire destroyed the pine forests and turned a portion of segment 2 into an arid, almost desert like environment. An unexpected area within the mountains of Colorado. But Segment 2 doesn't start until reacquiring the South Platte River and that was still almost 8 miles away.
After a restful night of sleep I awoke sometime after 6. I lingered in camp until 8 and then started hiking. Took a few pictures before my first break at some rocks with a nice overlook. I thought this was the 'ridge' as listed in my Colorado Trail Atlas, which is the high point before descending to the South Platte. I was not as far as I though I was but it was a nice place for a break after more than an hour of hiking. I took some zoomed in pictures of houses on far away mountains as well as Littleton. The scenery was beginning to be fantastic. There was a campsite behind the rocks, but no nearby water source.
I left this spectacular viewpoint and wandered past the 'ridge' approximately 45 minutes later. It seemed like I was moving slow. It took about 3 hours to hike less than 4 miles, including the break. It was mostly uphill though.
Finally going downhill, toward Segment 2 and the South Platte. Of course, there were nice views along the way including a peak or two of the river. There seemed to be about 50 switchback but going downhill I was hiking much quicker ... 3.9 miles in about 1 1/2 hours. It was 1250 and about 90f, the South Platte Canyon Trailhead was a welcome break.
It was already hot (and promised to be hotter through the burn area) so I took a nice long break, about 2 1/2 hours. The trailhead is on a dirt road, but there were plenty of cars here. One of the hikers from the night before caught a ride into town to reorganize and possibly come back out. There is also a privy here.
Here at Definition 6, we bring our dogs into the office every day, and every Friday we have Happy Hour. But yesterday we held a special Monday Happy Hour to welcome pet expert Charlotte Reed.
We met Charlotte while working at the NY Auto Show where she did a special segment about pet safety in cars. blog.definition6.com/blog/marketing-communications/hot-ca...
When we heard she would be in Atlanta, we knew she would love to come by Definition 6 for happy hour and meet all of our office dogs!
We found this but it was closed for decorating. There were men getting this all dolled up with Xmas decorations. I have to kidnap my nephew and use him as an excuse to get inside this place sometime soon!

Been trying out my Panasonic LUMIX TZ70, which I’ve had for a couple of years but never really done much with it. Until now
The following outcrops are located along the Grassy Cove Segment of the Cumberland Trail along Black Mountain, just southeast of Crab Orchard, Tennessee.
The valley or cove floor is actually a limestone sink, with these huge boulders lining the tops of the surrounding mountains. You will find rugged sandstone, bejeweled with pure white quartzite pebbles, and a maze of convoluted, fluted corridors, strange, stack-stoned chimney rocks and pillars, unexpected windows and passageways winding in glorious confusion.
