Travel Day 1 - Jul 26

The first component of the Rocky Mountain collection convoy left Thirsty Dirt Ranch on July 26. They traveled north through the Colorado Rockies to Leadville. From there they went over the pass where Climax Mine is and onto the Dillon area. From Dillon they went north over Rabbit Ears Pass to Steamboat Springs and Craig.

After lunch in Craig, they headed north through Baggs, Wyoming to I-80. West on I-80 brought them to Rock Springs, where the headed north again towards Jackson Hole. They camped the night just north west of Jackson Hole.

At lunch time, I had a chance to talk to Mike. He said they must have crossed the Continental Divide at least 5 times that morning.
