We visited Cathie's cabin in South Park by car Wed-Fri at the end of July,
including lining up power line trenching from the house pole to the
building (long messy story). So after a weekend catching up at home we
ran up there again, this time Mon-Thu in the camper van: One night in
the woods up Fourmile Creek southwest of Fairplay, a 6+ hour dayhike
for me on Horseshoe Mountain, back to the cabin for two nights including
trench excavation, then one more night a short way toward home about 5
mi up the rough CR 60 to the lovely Hall Creek campground before Grant.
