After sleeping in at the Colorado Trail Foundation's work camp, we woke up to some delicious left over biscuits and turkey sausage. We sat around chatting for a bit with the volunteers and then packed up our camp to head to Frisco for a night at a hotel. We would have to catch a shuttle, with a potential 30 minute wait time and a little bit of a walk.
On our way to the bus stop we saw a woman dropping off her adult son at the beginning of section 8 in Copper. We stopped to chat a moment and she, Pam, offered to give us a ride to Frisco. I swear, we have met some of the nicest people on the planet during this hike.
We arrived in Frisco at our hotel (Alpine Inn) and I was pleasantly surprised by David's ability to find us the cheapest, nicest hotel in Frisco that happened to be centrally located between a Whole Foods, Safeway, the outdoor store and my favorite restaurant (originally) from Fort Collins, the Rio Grande. Within the next couple of hours, I had a carmalita from Whole Foods in hand, a wonderful meal at the Rio and then back to the hotel for a shower and some hot tub time. Zero days are awesome.
We spent the rest of the day relaxing, watching shark week and working on our blog. David's parents stopped off to take us to dinner on their way home from a sailing regatta near Aspen. It was very good to see familiar faces.
