Today started out much warmer than I expected. The sun rose over BlueMountain shelter, and was really pretty. The wind had calm down, and it was not quite so cold.
The morning started out with the descent into a gap and then a huge climb up Rocky Mountain. The views up there were amazing. I called it a short day and stopped at an old cheese factory. I’m camped for the night. planning on doing 7 1/2 miles tomorrow.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
