Colorado...
After climbing Mt. Massive, we were exhausted. But we conserved some energy on the way down the mountain by sliding through a snow field for .3 miles on our rear ends. It was quite fun.
The foloowing day was deemed another rest day, but since we had already done everything in Leadville and Buena Vista, Mark suggested we find out how far Vail is from our campsite. And sure enough it was only 30 minutes away. So away we went.
At Vail we discovered the Teva Mountain Games were going on. We watched some kayak competitions, drove some VW Touerags, and got some free sawg and t-shirts.
Today we went and climbed the Decalibron which is a collection of 4 14ers (Mt. Democrat, Mt. Cameron, Mt. Lincoln, Mt. Bross). Mark, Jordan, and I did all 4 mountains, but Timothy came down with altitude sickness after Mt. Lincoln and waited for us back at the car.
After our work out we went into Breckenridge and ate at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. were we had nice big hearty meals. After this we scoured I-70 east for a cheap hotel. After much searching we are in Georgetown, CO at a Super 8. Tomorrow we are going to Denver to chill for the day, and will camp Saturday and Sunday night near Mt. Evans. This will be our last 14er which we will climb on Sunday. And on Monday we leave for Georgia.
