Notes:

- Arrived at Gold Hill Trailhead around 1pm and met Soleil in the parking lot at her Van. Eggs, Bacon, Pancakes, and Dr. Pepper were already in the works. I was grateful for such quality trail magic from an old friend.

- After picking up my maildrop from the Bivvy Hostel we cruised towards Boulder. There was a MASSIVE line of cars heading the opposite direction, probably people heading into he mountains for the Independence Day holiday weekend.

- Lots of tunnels to pass through mountain we had to pass through on the way.

- I was impressed with her van, solar panels on top, sink with running water & grey water tank, LED lighting, refrigerator. There was even enough space to stand up straight.

- Did laundry and had a great lunch at an Argentinian restaurant in Boulder.

- Ended the day catching up over the cartoon Rick and Morty while playing with pet rats in an apartment that she was house sitting for a friend.
