Day 1 2019, Silverthorn and Dillon Reservoir

This river was a lot lower last year. I'm very glad that it was a wet year this year as I am soon entering a crazy dry part of the Divide.

This is the Dillon Reservoir Dam, it supplies water to Denver on the other side of the Divide. Climbing it was literally breathtaking, as I am at 9k feet and not acclimated AT ALL.

Pretty cool.



This bike path goes around the reservoir to my campground.

My water source, should I need it. We had to pay $24 bucks to camp here and they don't even have water.

Home!

Should I need it, I can get sometihng like 40 1 second shots of oxygen out of this. Hopefully I acclimate sooner.

Steve from the UK is 24ish days in on the Divide, starting in Bannf. He's hauling! He shared the campside and cost with me. We had a great time.  He also has biked across Australia  from Perth to Sydney through the central desert. Bad. Ass.



This app always posts the first photo last. This is me starting where I left off last summer. A Chipotle in Silverthorne!
