A 14er, some 20s, and over 1000

"And for this cantankerous cacophony of collisionous cogs and camshafts, take that!"
--Charles Montgomery Burns

Hey y'all,
I have taken a zero in Leadville, CO., the highest incorporated town in the USA.  My right knee has been acting up so I haven't yet summited Mt. Elbert as planned.  The hostel is incredible and tonight I cooked some wild sockeye with a garlic soy stir fry.  This mmorning I dumped turkey sausage, eggs& cheese in a pan, ate, shared, have some for tomorrow am.It's a real treat to get to cook real food.

Last week i bagged San Luis peak and strung ttogether a few 20+ mile days...just  a couple days ago I crossed the 1000 mile mark!   Very cool, although it means I have a lot of miles to go.

Storms arise quickly....nearby lightning had me crouching on my foam pad!

Summit snickers!  First 14er in a few years.

Still some corniced snow around.
