Day 9 - We leave our roadside overnight spot on Trough Rd and head south to Heaton Bay Campground in the White River National Forest. It was full by 2 pm on a Thursday so we just checked it out and headed for higher altitudes and cooler weather. We stopped in Leadville and checked with the visitor center where we were told about Halfmoon Campground and the availability of dispersed camping along the forest road leading to the campground. We found a nice spot but only spent the one night as it was also plagued by black flies and mosquitoes. When will it end ?
