<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family:'Lucida Grande';color:rgb(26,26,26)">Tue JUN 3</span></b><span style="font-family:'Lucida Grande';color:rgb(26,26,26)"> I got the solar trailer hooked up and luckily the Gear truck
started. CB drove the pick-up with the commode trailer. We left Trinchera Ranch and drove a
steady climb 5.5 miles northeast on Hwy 160. At that point we took a dirt road north, which was a steep
climb. Then it was ‘down’ a dirt
road 13 mi. The campsite was at
Collectors Specialty Woods. The postal address is Gardner, CO, but we were in
the countryside in a mountain valley. I unhooked the solar trailer, set it up, parked the truck and
got a ride back up the hill 11 miles to the Commode truck. Originally I had planned to March the 11
miles back. There was a little,
collapsible bicycle stored in the commode. I have never ridden one of them so I got on it and started
down the dirt road. I had to
peddle several times! I’m guessing
that it was at least 1000 ft. of drop. I got back to camp in an hour and ate my
lunch. The bike’s top speed pedaling would be 5 mph. Getting back in an hour
means I averaged 11 mph!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Lucida Grande';color:rgb(26,26,26)"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Lucida Grande';color:rgb(26,26,26)">At dinner Ed responded to his unannounced
reorganizing the Gear truck yesterday. He indicated that there was an obvious
need to organize it and there was agreement. Since Specialty Woods cuts many
big trees into wood for designs they had plenty of sawdust. We got permission to empty the commode
and replenish our supply of sawdust.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Lucida Grande';color:rgb(26,26,26)"><br></span></p>
<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Lucida Grande';color:rgb(26,26,26)">We were
warned to put the food away and lock the back door of the Kitchen truck. In
addition to bears we should watch out for elk, deer, and coyotes. We went to bed wondering what would happen.
Since there were many sheds for
the lumber, and there was a strong evening wind, many marchers found a place in
one of the sheds to put their mat and sleeping bag. I did and Izzy had a film
of Pete Seeger that we watched.</span></div></div><div><br></div></div><span><font color="#888888">-- <br><div dir="ltr">Peace, David</div></font></span></div></div></div></div></div></div>
