Silverthorne Nero

Oh breaking town is hard to do.  We hiked 27 miles yesterday and did our resupply.  So we slept in and had a liesurely morning.  Then we hiked out.  We walked through town and up a dirt road to the trailhead.  But it started raining and the sky looked angry.  Keep going or bail?  When in doubt loiter.  Rain jackets on we checked the sky.  It was Hikeaholics birthday and he told us he hadn't been in town to celebrate it in 15 years.  About that time a lady with her black lab and sun came down the trail heading for her car.  We got a ride back to town and took the rest of the day off.  It worked out great because my cousin Cheryl and her daughter drove out from Littleton and I was able to spend some time with them.  It was really great to spend time with family and my head is in the game and ready to hike!
