OK, OK, OK, I received a couple of notices that I haven't written anything in a couple of weeks wondering what gives...
Well, we have been busy with the mundane, which I am sure you don't want to hear about, e.g. putting things away for winter (good thing since a week ago Monday was the first snow fall), looking through the slash pile for shop stove wood and getting the dresser project and Molesworth chair project lumber ready to go. Along with our daily hikes and horse duties (which have come to an end, for now, since "Puff the Magic Flashlight" is now back home.
We have during the course of these tasks had conversations about trips for 2011, Hawaii in January is already locked and loaded, and a southwestern camper excursion is on the slate for late February.
But we have started planning for the actual trip for which the truck camper was envisioned... which would be to Alaska. At this point it is looking like a mid-May launch and will last 6-8 weeks.
The Gypsy Camp-in is on the docket for September, which we missed this year.
Oktober Fest is also tentatively scheduled for September 2012.
On another note the list of mountains for 2011 seems to be growing. Right now Massive and La Plata are tentatively scheduled, but Pikes (which would complete all of the Front Range 14ers for me) is also creeping on to the list.
Also from a county "high pointing" perspective I would like to go up Bushnell Peak in the Sangre De Cristo range, as it is the highest point in Fremont County (where we are located) at 13,105'. Although not a 14ers it looks like a challenge from the trip reports I have read. It is part of a complex of peaks that folks seem to hit all at once to include the Two Sisters and Red mountain.
Right now my feet hurt, but there is nothing like an objective to work them back into shape.
