Ute Gulch Commisarry

Part of today's Hike Day 7 schedule included stopping by the Ute Gulch Commissary to pick up a fresh supply of trail dinners and snacks (Corn Nuts are not very popular) and visit the trading post trail shop to buy any items needed on the second half of our hike.

Mitchell's pack could not have picked a better location to completely fall apart. Once the aluminum frame snapped, I knew we needed to do something quick so that he could continue the trek. Fortunately, the commissary rents packs!  Ten minutes later, Mitch is loaded down with an old external frame Kelty.  Trail magic!
