Saturday, September 12th.

We have more storage with the RDX now.

We arrived at the Fourmile campground just outside of Fairplay Colorado and got camp setup just in time for the weather to set in.

It rained most of the night but no snow at our campsite, 10,600ft.

Sunday, September 13th - The rain stopped around 4am, and we got up at 6:30am to get ready to hike.

We on the road to the trailhead by 7:30am, climbing out of the fog, we were greeted with snow on the hills.
