9082 was a nice peak to finish on, except for the "short" amount of terrain between the trail and summit block, that took us almost an hour. We went up and down like Teresa had a month before, some sort of roundabout way to avoid the brushy gully, but then down the brushy gully. Teresa still seems undecided which way is worse. Maybe she'd finally decide after a third visit.
Chaffee is a great county. I did like most of the low peaks - many of them have great views of the Sawatch Range and are nice off-season hikes. I was a bit surprised when I saw how many peaks there are in the county, which I only recently noticed when I decided I could finish.
Steve, I see you close to wrapping up Chaffee as well. I'm betting you won't wait a few years to finish it.
8890 in Clear Creek? Maybe I'll wait a few years on that one.
