Day 16 - Highest Mountain in Colorado

Dave and Trevor and Tennille made it safely to the top of Mt. Elbert today. Pictures are on Facebook. They arrived back at their campsite around 2:30 mt. A few nights ago Dave woke up short of breath. He was concerned that he may have altitude issues today but he said that he's never felt this good in altitude. He attributes that to moving slowly. He had no headache and no shortness of breath. He did mention that he is getting a bit of sunburn in his nostrils and the roof of his mouth. He tries to use suntan lotion every day but not in either of these locations! Tomorrow they have a short hike into Twin Lakes campground, about 5-6 miles. Their Resuppliers should be camping there and so they should have a spot to put up their tents. They will be staying there tomorrow night. BoTh boys need to wash their clothes and Dave said a shower would be nice. They also have to plan out the next few resupplies, mileage for each day, and camping spots with water. His phone is running out of battery so today's call was short. He is hoping to charge up the phone tomorrow if possible. He sounded a bit tired but it may be past his bedtime! Jane
