Yep, Leadville's at 10,000 feet, the mountain next door goes up to 14,500 feet. There is (or was) a Jeep trail going up to the top. It was one lane, humped in the middle with the tire tracks about 2 1/2 feet wide and BIG rocks on it that rolled off the mountain.

They used to (or still do) host a race on that trail, up the mountain. It was scary as shit,600 ft. dropoffs, the bikes wouldn't run right at the top.

I was pissed, only got second place, first place was only 20 feet ahead of me.

Still have the trophy downstairs.

STILL SUMMER IN THE NATIONS, 80 DEGREES WHEN I GOT UP THIS MORNING, BUT AT LEAST THE HUMIDITY IS DOWN SOME. THE CHEROKEES PINE FOR OCTOBER.

DARLING WIFE PACKING FOR CHINA TRIP; THE HOUSE LOOKS LIKE A FLEA MARKET :-)

What's in China that is the must see Gris.....? Just curious....is that a big turista destination now.....

getting things packed up for the trip.......is it to late to try and get a trailer hitch on this thing......

Have a good week Guru's.......

Were you on the bike that you still have Bill..........

Hidey-ho! The sun is a welcome addition after yesterday's gloom. We didn't get much rain here, but some areas of the state got over 11 inches. Umbrella sales were probably thru the roof.

Have a good day, yawlz!

Yea, but, I lost some pics of it with this new laptop.

Good Morning CGs!

Off today but had some errands to take care of early. I have my ENT appointment scheduled for 11:40 today. Hopefully that will resolve the non-hearing issue. It is pretty bad today. Not painful right now, just can't hear along with the constant ringing.

Constant ringing? Hey, that sounds like someone else I know....

Hope everyone has a great day!

Morning guys....Marcus, there was no stream runnning through the course, just several ponds. No beer in them as I did get to check a couple out. Bill, I don't think that they still have that race to the top. At least in all the literature I read, there is no reference to it. Lots of mountain biking and foot races though.

It's 38 this morning headed for a high of 68 this afternoon. We are waiting just a bit to go golfing and let it warm up a little. All this cool air is spoiling us. The majority of the crew left about 15 minutes ago to do a "flat hike" over towards and around the lake that is just a little ways from the house. Just the three of us left who golfed yesterday. The other two are doing things related to their jobs, glad I don't have to deal with that....Oh, wait, I had a phone call this morning from the tool repair place telling me they needed another part of the tool that I have in for repair. "You bet, I'll run it right over." NOT, they are in KC we are 650 miles from there right now, and I'm 250 away from the part they need. "I'll get it to you next week". Sleepus interuptus...







Mount Massive (14429') on the right Mt. Elbert (14440') on the left. The two highest peaks in Colorado, the Rocky mountain range and the #2 highest peak in the continental US

#1 DAUGHTER HAS BECOME OBSESSED WITH CHINESE ORPHANS (THAT'S HOW I GOT TWO CHINESE GRANDDAUGHTERS) AND DARLING WIFE IS GOING ALONG TO SUPERVISE. THIS IS HER SECOND TRIP, FOURTH OR FIFTH FOR #1.

Tom, looks like one of your balls wandered slightly off-course ;-)

Brad, no one was supposed to notice that! Freaking fairway bunkers.....Played much better today, was a little more breezy than yesterday, but about the same temps, upper 60's. Feels warmer than that though.

Almost everyone has gone shopping in Silverthorn this afternoon (about 30 miles north). I'm thinking it might be a perfect time for a nap.

didn't get the nap, they started showing back up soon there after. Played cards, chatted, drank some adult beverages.

WHAT ABOUT THEM ROYALS?
