Snow in the mountains, but otherwise cold and clear on either sides below. No other pilgrims on the way, but I saw some dudes in the mountains tooling around in a bizarre looking vehicle. They got a kick out of a pilgrim alone in the snowy mountains and photographed me as I passed by. (They offered me a ride, which I found touching)
Hiking out of Belorado you can see the caves ancient hermits once used (see photo). The 12th century Augustinian monastery in San Juan is a highlight in an otherwise desolate town, especially this time of year.
The compassion of strangers is humbling. There’s a story there, but no time for that now. All I’ll say is, God is good.
Forecast has sunnier and warmer weather in store. I can’t wait!
