Cracker Barrel is the best breakfast. And I want your job. Must be nice to just be able to drop everything and take off to do whatever. Maybe one day.

Great post of a great trip look forward to seeing more. Thank for posting it all for us.
DAY 6
Remember the two 1L bottles of water I filled up? This gave me a chance to use my new toy, something I recommend any outdoorsman to have in their arsenal..
It's a Steripen. It is a UV light that purifies water and makes it safe to drink, essentially rendering any bacteria or virus harmless. It's $60 on amazon, and on a single set of decent AA rechargables, it will purify 400L of water (45 seconds per liter.) Worth every penny. Remember, this PURIFIES water, it doesn't filter it. If the water is nasty, this will make it safe to drink, but it will still taste like sh!t.
The rest of the day we spent relaxing in Vail village.
Thanks for taking the time to create this thread! I am going to be headed to that area for 7 days starting Sept. 13th. We will be driving Black Bear and several of the other passes you visited. I can't wait to see it in person and it's nice to get a "preview".
For UV light to be effective, you need water that does not contain suspended particles or colour.
Anything that will block the UV light will diminish it's ability to kill bacteria.
Love your thread, the pictures and video are awesome. I definitely need to do something like this.
Safe travel back home.
