I did not reach the summit, However, I did reach my goal.
Here"s a few pics. http://s42.photobucket.com/albums/e309/seaboltk/colorado trip 2010/
(Seriously though, you too!! ) Maybe I misunderstood but I didn't think you were coming back for another week to ten days ... did I miss something??
)Oh, oh, oh ... I am glad to see the dog is okay!!
Bet your wife was glad to see you! I am curious ... you said you reached your goal ... are you talking about the physical goal of going and coming or are you talking about the psychological/emotional goals you were concerned with??
(Please don't bang on me for staying home and drinking hot tea while you were gone!! Just because I don't "get it" doesn't mean it wasn't the right thing for you to do ... But if you had been my husband you would still be trying to get out of the closet!! LOL
Sorry....You should have let me know, We could have worked out a deal.
The latter....My inner spirit has been reset....It was the hardest thing I have ever done, and I loved every minute of it.
The weather from 13,500 ft up was brutal.....I froze my water bladder, The altitude was killing me the first couple of days, I had To shorten my hike by about half, but that gave me more time to play around.
I didn,t see anyone for the first three days, then I met a guy hiking the trail in the opposite direction, We talked for about 20 mins and moved on.
I also hiked up to the ruby gold mine and ghost town, and down pikes peak.
I had a lot of fun, But, it feels really good to be home.
The dog was delicious......
