Day 36: Kremmling, CO

Operation dumbo drop has been successful, mission control. Houston and wounded duck are back to our old antics, fighting severe head winds and "enjoying" every minute of it. We departed frisco around eleven when the temps finally rising out of the thirties to reach 47 degrees at departure. Fortunately the sun was out and as the it climbed from behind the mountains in the early dawn, it lit up the freshly snow-draped peaks with a succulent spectrum of color. we said farewell to our kind host virgil and set off to endure the blustery up-mountain drafts making it to kremmling, colorado while slip-streaming that would make even the most veteran race car driver proud.

Today's hard count:
mileage: 45 miles
hours: 3:03
winds: 15-20 knots
houston's legs: tested
houston's lungs: tested

overall a good day and looking forward to the next. wounded duck and houston out over.
