Forget the 10 mile days. Out'N'Back and I thought that more people would be interested if we took four days to hike to Breckenridge. Now 7 mile days.
Bring books and booze.

waddy and I have been swapping emails discussing pack lists and such.
I know for me, getting the weight out of the pack will really improve my time on the trail.
Thought I'd share a shot or two of the cookkit and menu I've put together for this trip.
Snowpeak Ti 850ml cookpot with lid/potholder,
MBD Atomic alky stove, wire stand, Al windscreen.
MBD QMH pot/cup
Plastic coffee cup
Plastic spork
HawkeVittles...Yum!
Hey! Is that my fat dog in the background?
Trust nobody!
I just ordered some Hawk Vittles. Looks like they have a good selection.

Food,
Since you have been on a lot of this trail. Can you remember if there were water sources along the way? Streams, run off, snow in the shade to melt?

Per the Colorado Trail Data book:
We start at mile 6.0.
There is water at:
11.7 Maybe 1st night
17.1
19.7 Maybe 2nd night
20.1
26.1
28.8 Maybe 3rd night
32.4 Highway 9
Yes the advantage of doing it earlier rather than later is there should be more water. Might even be sloppy in places.
