I planning on leaving Divide about 4:30pm on Friday. I should be getting to the camping location around 6:30pm but we'll see how it goes.

Saturday we went to Pomeroy Lakes. The group consisted of Luke and Claire, Leon, Sam and Sandy, Chuck and family, Matt and family. We did a little fishing but no fish, at lunch and headed back down to St. Elmo for ice cream. Luke headed back to Divide to a function he had to attend, Sam and Leon headed to another spot they wanted to check out and Matt's family and Chuck's family headed to Mount Princeton hot springs.
Trevor Amy and Ben showed up Saturday night.
Sunday Trevor, Amy, Ben and Chuck's family ran Chinaman's. A group of 7 or 8 Scouts were on the trail as well as a couple of exo caged Toyota trucks. They all let us pass since we were moving pretty quick on the trail. We had a stock jeep try to follow us but he turned around. We all made it up the wales tail which was a first for Trevor and I.

On sunday we ended up going on mt. princeton and then finished the day doing st. elmo/tin cup pass. We drove all the way and took cotton wood pass back to bv. If you havn't gone all the way mirror lake is beautiful. The trail we thought was tougher than pomeroy lakes trail we did the day before. Mt. princeton was a little scary at the top on the shelf road but nothing to bad. We started the second day at 9 and got back to camp around 3.
