Not much to be said about Salida and my zero days. I made phone calls, did a fantasy football draft, and watched Lord of the Rings marathon on TnT. I have no pictures for either day. 

Special shout out to Sam T. for being the best friend in the world!

Regularly scheduled Colorado Trail hiking starts with segment 15 on day 22 (a.k.a. September 1).  I estimate my arrival to Durango in 14 to 17 days… maybe…  Silverton should be my next/final resupply in 8 or 9 days.
