San Juan Huts 2002 / Day 2 Last Dollar to Spring Creek

12-Foot Hedgehog Photo Gallery

Tuesday, 8/6/02

Distance: 26.3 Miles
Elevation Change: 10,980'-9200' (1600' ascent, 3380' descent)
Weather: An impressive hail/thunder/lightning storm built up over the Sneffels Range to the south around lunchtime and overtook us in the middle of Howard Flats (absolutely the worst place to be during a lightning storm-- nothing but open range for miles.) We spent about 30 minutes cowering in a ditch at the intersection of County Roads 59Z and 60Z. The roads were very muddy the rest of the afternoon, so it was slow going.
