Day 17 - Granada, CO

I'm in Syracuse, KS. I've changed time zones so I've gained an hour and will have no trouble getting to Colorado today. I'm going to try and end up in Peublo on the 4th of July. I've decided to take the Monarch pass through the mountains and will probably be there by the 7th. I don't know what to expect, but it doesn't get too steep. I'm worried about how much weight I'm carrying though and what the weather will be like near the top. It's 16 miles to Colorado so I'll probably head out soon so I can find a place to camp early because it might storm tonight.
