Today was supposed to be a light day. Segment 3 was only 12.2 miles and I was going to relax after it was finished and recover from yesterday... No such luck! This was a disaster. I started out at about 8AM. Last night Vik gave me the Spot locator class. I didn't charge my Garmin or iPod. So I started out with no way to judge distance. I guess I finished segment 3 and headed straight into Segment 4. I never realized my distance and there was no obvious marking. So I marched on. I was lighter because I gave Vik some of my heavy gear and I actually ran many of the miles with a sort of shuffle. I was happy. I started to get worried because, I knew that I should have arrived at Segment 3 by now... I just kept going hoping to find someone or someplace. by now I was out of water and very thirsty. I thought that sooner or later I would cross a river, no luck. I marched on knowing I was in trouble. Around 6 I saw a guy setting up some fishing gear near a truck. I asked him for help/ride. Not interested. there was a dirt road. I asked him for a road (to get me out). He said follow that dirt road. I did for hours. I arrived at a Rural Road 256 (not paved) at 9 pm. No traffic, nothing. I decided to use my Spot and summon help. I laid down in my bivy and waited. Nothing. Finally at about 11 as I was starting to sleep, A cop arrived... Two cop rides later I was at the Loaf n Jug in Bailey. Drew picked me up. I was spent. Completely dehydrated and I accepted that this would be the end of my journey.

After soaking and nowhere to go, I embarked on segment 2. The climb starts immediately and most of the hike was through fire ravaged forest. My shoulders were killing me do to the weight of my bag!. I arrived at the finish and Sgt. Vik showed up to camp out and loan me a Spot satellite location transponder. We found food and set up camp. Sleep was good.
Elevation gain: 2200 feet.

Started the Colorado trail with Drew. 16t segment went well with lots of climbing and splendid views. My pack was killing my shoulder and I became aware (I packed minimalist) that I needed to reduce weight at the first opportunity. Anyway, I arrived at The South Platte and soaked. Elevation gain: 2160 feet.
