Friday 10/8
This area is really pretty. The trees are changing and the mountains are steep! But with nowhere to stay without spending my day trying to find a place to overnight means Hovenweep National Monument here i come.
Almost broke my fuel vow about not getting down on fuel. Actually turned around and backtracked to fill. I also don’t like to travel on Fridays and dislike pulling into CG late in the afternoon. Wasn’t a problem. Pulled in about 4:30pm and had 3 or 4 sites that would work over night. The best sites will over up tomorrow or certainly Sunday.
This is first planned long lay over. Eight days. Time to reorganize, do some wash, more groceries and hiking and biking and safety meetings in no particular order. Other than the hike. A small hike to stretch the legs. Good night
