The Avocato

Well, all 486 miles of the Colorado Trail got hiked!  I did it in 35 days which included two zero days (which took place in mountain towns, which means no hiking and lots of eating).  If I were to do it again I think I could easily shave off another four or five days. Some of the highlights:  met some awesome people, saw some unbelievable scenery, lost 17 pounds, encountered a black bear (and about a million marmots), hitchhiked multiple times, destroyed one pair of shoe insoles and one pair of underwear, overnighted  in a yurt, bathed in rivers, came to detest granola for breakfast, and became a bad-ass, among other things. At some point I will post a streamlined, bullet-point accounting of the trip.   Better than nothing, I guess. In the meantime, here are at least two hours of trail videos from the trip for you to watch. One Two Three Four Five Six  Seven Eight Nine Ten
