The Early Blogger gets...

The Peak to himself. I hit the Grey Rock Trail a few hours post sunrise. It was cool, quiet and the only living things besides me was green. (Be mindful of the poison ivy). 

There was water flowing everywhere! 

The Grey Rock Trail was originally constructed by the Civilian Conservation Core in the 1930's.

Roosevelt's Tree Army did an admirable job with all their projects. This trail is no exception.

Strong Work! Gentlemen!

Grey Rock (7,513") is a National Recreation Trail. 

It was crazy busy by the time I descended. How busy was it Jeff?

There was a "Wait List" for reaching the summit. 

"Smith Party of four, your peak is waiting!"

Foreign visitors were on the "Will Call" List. 

Cheers from Fort Collins, Colorado

Meet the newest...

Colorado Rockies fan.

Yesterday, Little Syd Sambur took in her first MLB game. That's her proud father and my nephew Keith hugging her. (He's the World's tallest Sambur). 

I'm not sure if L. Syd understood the subtleties and nuances of America's Pastime, but she sure loved those chocolate covered strawberries before the first pitch. Whatever works. 

Speaking about pageviews, I'll never grovel for assistance from my readers in reaching a milestone again. You all left! Come back! I promise I won't beg again.

Maybe one day, I'll figure out my fickle electronic audience. Beer (right word) with me. This is still a blog in progress.

Gee. It's raining and lightning again.

Good Evening to all,

Backpackers Wanted

Anyone out there interested in backpacking in Colorado's Wilderness Areas this summer? The White Death might be gone by mid to late July to hit the trails. 

I'll provide the pre-hike and post- hike brews. You'll have to carry your own beers on the trail.

I'm serious. We ain't getting any younger and there's plenty to see in Colorado. I can be a partial Sherpa. I can't carry everything though.

Who wants to play before we are too old to do this stuff?

Come on summer!

Jeff
