The Last Climb until North Carolina

Motor Home

After a great nights sleep we departed from the First Inn in Pagosa Springs, Co. at 9:30 A.M. We had planned to depart by 8:00, but is was way to cold. The temperature was 22 degrees at 7:00 and 28 degrees by 8:00.

Danny Danny used the time, while we waited for it to reach 32, to meet with several hotel guests. It is amazing home many people have been touched by cancer. The guests stayed and listened, enjoyed his booklet, and asked many questions. Danny is in his element when he can share his experiences. In fact, last night he went to the home of a person (they do not want their name listed) with pancreatic cancer. Danny missed dinner to meet with this family and share his experiences.

Water Fall

The riders had a mild climb for the first 12 miles, then the climb stated. Just at the end, before the climb stated, there is a water fall.

At The Top

The mountain was posted with signs saying the incline was only 6%. It took us over 3 hours to beet this mountain. Wolf Creek Pass is now tamed. All three riders perfumed with the compassion and drive of a champion team. Often we stopped to lay down. The air was cold and the altitude effected all of them. At the top, a picture was taken.

Riders

The trek down was swift. Sean biked with the crew. The average speed was 37 mph down and 3.8 mph up (almost walking).

We are now in Soft Pass, about 10 miles from Alamosa, Co.

Our other computer is not working, so the exact distance is a guess, but we feel we are close to 920 miles. We expect to be out of Colorado by end of week and in the state of Kansas.
