We checked out of Pinewood Motel around 9 AM started to hitch up to Wolf Creek Pass with seven days of food with the intention of stopping in Silverton (an extra stop) to resupply before heading to Lake City. It took over two hours to get a ride and another half hour to get back to the trail. Handstand and Dust Bunny had better luck and had been waiting for us for about 45 minutes. We were on trail by noon.
Titan and Cowboy Stipper, two hikers I met in Pagosa Springs and hitchhiked up with. They hike later hours than I do so no sure I will see them again.
It did not take long to hit snow. It was firmer on this side of the pass so no snowshoes today. Thunderstorm rolled in so short day and another early pitch. Snow up here looks better and much less of it, so keeping our hopes up this section is doable. 7 miles, 3:15 hiking.
