This was just a two-night solo van trip packed with events... During which I did a little work on my wife's rental house in the Denver area (no photos), checked on the mountain cabin we were trying to sell (no photos), and did a "little Sunday stroll" up a snowy hillside from 11600' over Peerless Mountain, 13348', near Fairplay. I spent the first night sleeping in the van outside the cabin because the inside was cleaned up to show, but I did build a campfire.
