Day 21- Walden to Kremmling

Gosh, it's been three weeks already! Well I'm still feeling quite
upbeat, though earlier today my tummy wasn't all that happy. But I
think I just hadn't eaten enough last night, and staying hydrated is
becoming hard work! I stopped for a large lunch, and I certainly met
my match: the biggest burrito I've ever seen! Being on tour means that
not finishing food is not an option though. Today and tomorrow aren't
big on mileage, but there'll be a lot of climbing tomorrow. Over
4,200ft to get to the highest point on the trail, and cross the
continental divide yet again (for the 9th time? I've lost count!).
I've also caught a glimpse of some entertaining wildlife: for one,
there are lots of chipmunks or prairie dogs or whatever they are, but
these actually eat their own kind's roadkill! Gross. And then there
some flying insects, which by judging by their size could be
grasshoppers, but when in flight they are seriously the noisiest
animals around!
