Just as I was setting up camp at 9500 feet up on top of Wolf Creek Pass, Duane Erickson came by and immediately drew a map to show me where his place is in Evanston and to invite me home. Talk about instant generosity! I'm at his place for two nights giving the legs some much needed rest (I'm beat.)

Duane is one of those unique people of multiple interests that you meet along the way. He's an ex-Mormon, but fanatical student of the Book of Mormon. He's an inventor of canoes and drying racks, an organizer, and a student of all kinds of theories about ancient cultures. His websites at bmsf.net and domehabitat.com tell it all. Lots of interesting things going on!
