The Plan

Encampment is a tiny town that serves the outdoor community that is active here.  

The transcontinental bike route, continental divide bike route and CDT all pass through here.  There is also a lot of hunting and fishing.

The big puzzle has been putting together a plan.  Pounce had the presence of mind to message Jerry Brown of Bearcreek Survey for advice.  So here is The Plan:  hitch to Salida, hike south back to Pagosa Springs, hitch back to Salida, hike north to Encampment.  What a crazy adventure this has turned into!  We made it as far as Frisco last night.  

It took three hitches to get here.  Our rides were all great people.  It was pretty cool. Our group has been whittled down to 5.  It's Pounce and I, Friendly Neighbor, Sailor, and Alfredo.  The other three are road walking to Steamboat Springs.
