I don’t know this mamas name yet - but she might I don’t know this mamas name yet - but she might be the prettiest fox I’ve ever met. She has the slender sexiness of #GarytheFox with the apple-red eyes of #SanfordtheFox. What a stunner! 😻 #foxfriend
Felt really nice to get back on the #coloRADoTrail Felt really nice to get back on the #coloRADoTrail today to knock out part of segment 11 that I had skipped over in my section hike, from the intersection with the North Elbert trail to Twin Lakes. The mood turned somber though as near my turn around point I ran into a SAR party combing the trail for a missing Mount Elbert hiker named Juan. The rest of the miles were haunted by SAR helicopters circling Elbert overhead and the shouts echoing around from the search parties. I truly hope he was found safe. Another reminder that this isn’t the time to take risks. Hospitals don’t need to deal with avoidable injuries in their ERs right now. The mountains and trails and crags aren’t going anywhere and they will still be here when this pandemic passes and hospitals are more equipped to deal with avoidable injury. I hope they found you ok, Juan (and thank you to Lake County Search and Rescue volunteers). #coloRADo #sectionhiker #recreateresponsibly

Some essential travel yesterday required me headin Some essential travel yesterday required me heading out more than 10 miles from home, so I stopped on the way to say hi to the Indian Peaks at sunrise for a quick jaunt and to admire the snowmelt raging in the creeks, some scraggly moose-friends losing their winter coats, the aspens and willows getting their leaves, and to ponder for a handful of miles how despite the human world being upside down, mountain life continues on with pleasant normalcy. #coloRADo
