Day 55, Sat, Oct 26, 2024: Black Canyon of the Gunnison to walmart in sterling, CO.
We were rolling by 7:15am...long day ahead. We went over 3 passes but the mother of them all was Monarch pass (11,312 el)...lots of up, up, up, up and then down, down, down. They could have given me some more guard rails on my side because they cheaped out on that! Of course, snow up there but not on roads. After Monarch Pass it was pretty much valleys to squiggle through/picturesque....but slow going. We just made it to Walmart in Sterling Colorado before dark....5pm.
Just before putting our heads on pillows, we heard the toot, toot, of a train but neither of us heard anymore the whole night.
