Day 9 of the CDR-September 3,2011

We now number 3 vehicles and 7 people. Rob, Marcus and Ben joined us for part of the trip south.

We left Rawlins at about 0930 and proceeded south along highway 71 till we were able to cut off on a gravel county road. In about an hour we crossed the divide again.

Proceeding south we reached the Routt National Forest. Arriving at Steamboat Springs we wanted nothing more than to get out of that town. People everywhere. After stopping at the grocery store for one last item, we traveled south back into the Routt forest. We came across a campground and found a spot that was big enough for all four tents and three vehicles.
