Day Five: Today was a very interesting day! The three J's (ped4599, Rocky Mountain Canary & Knappster) headed out to run Imogene and Ophir and were pleasantly surprised to see El Cid and his family at the trail head.

I took lots of pictures but the day ran real late and it is now 11:37 Colorado time so pictures will have to wait until tomorrow.

We had a scare this afternoon when we lost one of our members to a landslide... ped4599 started his return to camp before the rest of us so he hit the trail about and hour and a half before us. While in Telluride it started to rain real heavy so Rocky Mountain Canary and I decided to forgo the pass and take the paved road back to camp. When we got back to camp ped4599 was not there and at 9:30 we decided to go out and find him.

We got about a mile up Ophir Pass to see if we could find ped4599 when we found the road had been washed out and at least 40 feet of road was gone. What we didn't know was that ped4599 had completed 95% of that trail before he ran across the section of road that was washed out and so he had to backtrack to Telluride and come home the long way (which is the route Rocky Mountain Canary & I had taken).

Anyway... everyone is home safe and tired and the rest of the story will have to wait.

All I can say is, You guys Suck! (joke) So does Colorado.

Where are those screen names you added? They are not showing up my end. Watch for Flash Floods!

See if any of your contributors have anything left over for Flagpole. (but probably not after my first comment)

I added them to a couple, I will fill in more when I have down time.

See if any of your contributors have anything left over for Flagpole.

I think we can do something, Send me your address by PM (I might have it already but too be safe).

Are any of the Commanders Stock? If so are they able to negotiate all the trails the others have been on>
