Lyn,
Every year's end there is a climbing team the climbs to the top of Pike's
Peak and then shoots off fire works from the top. You can literally see if
for over 60 miles. I don't think they climbed this year since we had 2 and
3 feet on the groun. Who knows how much they had on the Peak. Colorado has
57 hiking trails that cross over the 14,000 foot level. I have a 30 year
old nephew who has almost hiked all 57 trails. You couldn't pay me to climb
even one. The highest I have been is 12,300 feet and that was in a car. It
was 90 degrees in Denver when we left to drive up to Mount Evans and by the
time we got to the top, it was snow and sleeting and a snow plow was
clearing the road. I got out of the car and walked 50 feet and almost had a
heart attack, sort of speak, and I was 18 years old at the time. I changed
my mind about climbing Mount Everest in Nepal about that time of my life,
grin.
Phil.
