Tyler returns

Tyler returned from the Colorado Trail yesterday. We got a call that said he was hitchhiking home and that his ankle was not doing well and he couldn't go on without risk of further injury. We did manage to connect with him in Colorado Springs, so we picked him up and then drove home together.

After 280 miles he was obviously disappointed and told David to continue on his own, which he did. Tyler's goal was to hike through the entire trip but we think he made the right decision. Depending on how he does in the next week or 10 days, he will consider continuing and meeting David in Silverton. I will try to post some of his photos in the next few days for you to see.
