We had already done Mount Bross, Mosquito Pass and Birdseye Gulch, and we were planning on Weston Pass, too. Birdseye Gulch took longer than we expected, and it was almost 8PM when we were getting gas in Leadville. We knew we'd be doing it in the dark, eventually, but we only lost Dave and Mike C.

We aired up at the gas station in Fairplay. Ladd and Bill went up to I-70 to try to find some dinner while the rest of us headed for home on highway 285.

It was a long day but a fun one!
