Meeting Ric and Ruby today to go to Lake City for a night off, resupply, shower, bed, and food. Had to do 60 miles in 2 1/2 days, had 15 miles to o go so got started early. Raced a storm over a high saddle, big climb, and thought I was in the clear when I got over top. Nope. Snow Mesa is a huge flat area I had to cross so the race was on again. You don’t want to be out there in a thunderstorm as you are the highest thing. Zap.
Ric n Ruby had hiked up to the top edge, a very impressive climb of about 1200’ in two miles, very steep. We had good hugs and high fives on top. A shower never felt so good, it had been a week. Brewery, dinner, and a darn good time. So glad they made the long drive to meet me. Snow Mesa is a cool place and I would like to be up there on a clear night to see the stars sometime.
