if you ever stay in the rv park outside of steamboat, remember to do a bear hang. No one bothered to warn us about the raccoon problem. We’ve had various problems with them along the way, but they were mostly just annoying. This time those little trouble makers very quietly dragged a food pannier from under the fly and ate all our food. Luckily, they know how to unzip things and didn’t destroy the pannier but did leave raccoon spit everywhere.

Almost there
well, there’s just about 140 miles and 5 thousand feet of climbing between us and Denver. Unfortunately, we heard the escalator in rocky mountain park is down for maintenance, so we’ll have to climb up to 12200 feet under our own power. Good thing we prepped by doing a 3 thousand foot climb yesterday. We should be in Denver in time to celebrate megan’s birthday on monday.
Cookies and cream pie is intense!
