Trip Plan Changes BIG ONES and kid bragging.








The Mattson Family is on the move.  Jay had a fantastic last week in Athens: graduating from 8th grade with his friends, preparing to go to the State Track Meet, and heading out west to start our CDT chunk thing hike.   

We left for Colorado right after Jay finished his events, the 110 hurdles, the Long Jump (he jumped 16'4") and the 4x100 Relay.  He won a medal in the relay since the boys took 7th place.  The competition was tough.

 Jay Getting his award, dont worry you cant see him in the photo.
 Then we drove, and drove.   I am writing you from South Central Colorado.


I know you said "I thought they were going to Wyoming!, well at the last moment we switched to Colorado.  

I spent the whole drive reorganizing maps and things for our Wolf Creek Pass to Grand Lake or Steamboat Springs Colorado hike. We will still do the Bob and Glacier in late July and August.

Maybe my trail name should be flip flops.
