Glad I live in a nice flat state. I'd have dropped dead 1/3 of the way up. I'm used to heavy oxygen.

Beautiful country!

Makes me homesick

Dude,
Your livin' large! Neat pics. Sure must be windy up there---and cold too. I really don't believe I could have walked that knife's edge with all the wind and all---remember a few years back that hill I was climbing, or more rightfully said, remember the ground I was hugging with knees too weak to stand?

As I write this, its 90+ degrees with 99% humidity. Can't hardly breath. Those pics were a blast of fresh air!

That first pic reminds me of the house you grew up in. ---wait a minute, that was my house.---forget what I said. See 'ya soon--get the camp gear ready---We are gettin' the herd bull this year! -----------Yo Pappa

Keep the hills but please send the temps this way . That is some beautiful country.

Oh, love the view! I really like to explore old mines. I used to do that a lot when in AZ. But I was much younger and a lot more spry. That hike you just showed us would probably kill my knees now. Maybe the rest of me too. Oh who cares, I'd give it try.

Sixgun jr,

We're neighbors! I live about 5 miles south of you in Ken Caryl Valley. I'm a bit old now to scramble up any 14'ers anymore but the wife and I did our share years back. Good on ya. There's a reason that we live up here in God's Country.
