Blog App Troubles

I did a post for July 14 but it froze and won't post.  We hiked past the Mount Massive trail that day and passed a lot of day hikers heading for the summit.  The trail took us pass the Leadville fish hatcheries and some beautiful lakes.  

We made it just shy of Tennessee pass and it didn't thunderstorm!  It threatened to but nothing materialized.  Hikeaholic caught up to us and camped with us.  The next morning we hiked the remaining three miles to the pass and hwy 24.  There was a big metal box with trail magic in it courtesy of the Leadville hostel.  So awesome!  We got a ride to Leadville from a rafting guide hauling a raft for a trip.  He was super cool.  

First stop is always food.  We checked into the hostel and was given the big tour by Wild Bill.  It's the most organized, cleanest, nicest hostel I've ever stayed in.  It was a chore day and the time went by too quickly.  The next morning we really felt in need of rest and took a zero day.  Boy did we need it and it was so nice to relax and get swallowed whole by a comfortable couch.  The kitchen is well equipped and I had fun cooking dinner and baking cookies in it.  Weather forecast is more rain every day but we have to leave or we won't get anywhere...  Fond memories of this stop though.
