"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Continental Divide TrailI climbed up Vasquez Peak first. Very windy on Vasquez, I thought about heading down, but I decided to go for Nystrom as the wind died down on the way back to the pass. The weather was still looking pretty good. There were some clouds rolling in, but not much in the way of vertical build-up. Also very windy and chilly on Nystrom. I didn't see anyone else higher up, and I passed only two other hikers below treeline on the way back to the trailhead.
