So it's fun to read tales of your adventures!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16912023036026868047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24161230.post-58645579747386561812008-08-13T10:52:00.000-06:002008-08-13T10:52:00.000-06:00That is good stuff guys!Hope you didn't break the ...That is good stuff guys!<BR/><BR/>Hope you didn't break the bank at Patagoina ;-)Jeff Kerkovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375158740007509339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24161230.post-10305738791809875872008-08-12T02:05:00.000-06:002008-08-12T02:05:00.000-06:00Heck, I didn't start my run/hike on Pikes (from th...Heck, I didn't start my run/hike on Pikes (from the top) until 12:30, so you at leat had me beat! I ran down three miles from the top (on Barr Trail), then "ran" (power-hiked, really) back up - last ditch training for the Ascent next week. I probably just missed you guys at the summit...<BR/><BR/>I've learned to embrace wrong turns. I've done that a couple times with a friend of mine on backpacking trips, and once we discovered our error, we were content to just change our route to adapt to our error, perhaps even missing our original goal destination. "It's not the destination, it's the journey." Say you had never reached the summit (again) yesterday - it would have still been a beautiful day hiking in the mountains, right?<BR/><BR/>I remember a few years back my parents were out visiting and wanted to drive over Independence Pass to Aspen (from Frisco, where we were staying), as they had read much about it. Well, I accidentally turned on Hwy 24 instead of 82 (oops!), and ended up taking us over Tennesse Pass and Battle Mtn instead. My mom was so upset at first after we discovered the error, I almost couldn't believe it. Then I asked, "Was that not a beautiful drive, one you hadn't done before and more beautiful than any drive you get to do back in southern MN?" She had to reluctantly agree and then cheered up. :-)<BR/><BR/>So how many (14er) summits are you guys up to now?Fonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04504462046067745769noreply@blogger.com
