Day 9

Sunflower to Roosevelt. 54 miles 2800 feet elevation.

Limited cell coverage now so the photos will be delayed.

We left our ‘wild’ camp around 7:45am. A beautiful morning was spent climbing and descending for several hours.

We finally finished the toughest climbing by 11 and stopped at Jake’s Corner for a late breakfast.

We reached Roosevelt lake around 3. Craig’s Achilles was acting up again so we iced it for an hour. After some deliberation we decided to camp at Windy hill campground. It was a beautiful site with great views.

A long climb ahead!
These signs got us excited until we saw that we had 2 more miles of climbing
My breakfast burrito at Jake’s corner. Huge! Couldn’t eat it all.
