On Thanksgiving Day, ten of us set off from Turquoise Lake, just outside Leadville, on Ryan Ross’s annual hut trip. We would spend one night each at Uncle Bud’s Hut, the 10th Mountain Hut and the Continental Divide Hut. The first day was an easy hike in the sunshine to Uncle Bud’s Hut where we enjoyed the bright, clear views to Mount Massive, Mount Elbert, Garner Mountain, and the Arkansas Valley. That evening we enjoyed a full Thanksgiving dinner with the turkey again provided by Gaye.
