high mountain rocky day #2
- July 9th, 2011
Today we climbed 11,000 ft up and over Vail Summit through wispy silver blankets of clouds, down winding wet rocky mountain roads, past masses of masochistic uphill road bike racers, eventually reaching Denver by evening.
Just before 7pm our trailer tire exploded or something. Two hours later we’re still trapped here…all the tire/repair shops have already closed for the night. Fortunately (although I hate to admit it) it looks like Walmart Supercenter is going to save the day lol. Chad and 2012 just got back so with any luck we’ll be back on the road in less than an hour.
Then onward through Tornado Alley…
