    New Record waiting to be set With the bridge now removed it's a new course...kinda ;) Depending on conditions...amount of water...the record could still be broken? But more likely it could be considered a "new course" and sooo...who's done it and what's the record :D Har, har, har...

    Early Mountain Summit Houses

    Just aquired a 1855-1865 stereoview of the Summit House on Mount Lafayette. It shows about 9 people, 2 women in large skirts, and half a dozen horses. I've been told it was only in use for those 10 years? I find it hard to believe the horses could have made it up the Bridal Path! Maybe the...

    Pemi Loop Record Attempt 9/4/09

    Awesome!!! Congrat's Kevin and Ben!!! Eventhough you "lost" some time at the Hut it also served as a great rest break which may have helped you go faster the rest of the way as opposed to passing through more quickly:confused: The good thing about you guys is that you still have years ahead...

    Pikes Peak Ascent 8/15/09

    Pikes Peak

    Pikes Peak Marathon :) Having done the Mt Washington Road Race since 1976 and planning a tour of the country in 1978, I planned on doing the PPM as part of the trip(the PPM starts downtown Manitou Springs, goes to the summit over Barr Trail and back down it to Main Street). I hiked Barr Trail...

    Poll: Blaze Removal in Wilderness

    Peak Baggers for instance... People working on a "list". I'm quite sure 1 or 2 of these folks aren't very familiar with the Great Outdoors. I know I wasn't when I started in 1975. It was a challenge and healthy fun to figure out where these places were and to find a way to get there. Most of...
