After a half day of class we began the 2 hour and 45 minute drive to Red Cliff from Fort Collins. Once we arrived we were disappointed to learn that the gate to the road was still closed. This would prove to be our undoing; because this added 8 miles to our journey to Holy Cross City. (Our original destination) Well the road was in perfect condition so this was incredibly annoying to walk past DOT trucks entering and leaving the whole time. Although this faded as we grew more tired, and then once we reached the trail head we were out of sunlight. We made the decision to not go to a place we hadn't been to before in the dark, and made the decision to dig and sleep in my first snow cave. It was a lot of work; which Kevin did most of. This was all while I struggled to get a fire started. This was far more difficult than expected. We then enjoyed listening to an elk get attacked by something. We enjoyed the great views of the moon all the while.
Likability: 8/10 Overall the country was great just wish we could have made it to the city.
