Started with a morning climb to a major high point. Could see for miles in all directions. Very windy up there. Made it to Buena Vista and had a surprise on the trail when Jon, Christine, Ric, and Ruby walked in a mile or so and met me on the trail. It was time for a day off, or two half days anyway. J and C had just come off trail after 8 days as well. Showers, snacks and a beer or two were first order at Ric n Ruby’s “river suite”. Then we hit town for some rambling, spirits, and food. Ric n Ruby brought me a resupply as well (food). Very fun hanging with the crew and relaxing.
