Days 22 & 23 - Second half of the Colorado Trail

Day 22 took Dave, Trevor and Tenille out of Chalk Creek. They went up a pretty tough climb only to go down the other side Past a Dude Ranch. Form there the walking was pretty easy going. They camped at Clear Creek last night. Day 23 the guys spent completing section 14 and moved into section 16. They had an 8 mile climb to Fooses Creek which the followed until it ran out. Not far off was the Continental Divide which they are once again on. It rained for a good part of today. At the end of their days hike they came upon the Green Creek Shelter and were able to get out of the rain for a bit. Once the rain stopped they set up their tents not too far from the shelter. Dave said they were somewhere between mile 255 and 260. Dave has not had great cell service the past couple of days. I was out hiking this morning when I got two voice mails from him. He finally got through to me this evening on the satellite phone. His energy sounds great! Tonight's location 38.44255 -106.25841
