An ~20 mile jaunt in the Monarch Lake area. Was briefly on the CDT! Most of hiking was off trail. As mentioned, I have a bent ski pole, scrapes and bruised legs to show for it.

And..gotta say, the scenic beauty of Colorado is quite good. ;)

Nice pics. Scenic beauty is right. How about exporting some of it up here? All the women I've been meeting recently are either married or are still in highschool. I'm trying to stay away from both types. I'm heading down to Oregon for a stretch on the PCT in a couple of days and will try to make the place look ugly.

We are snow bound most of the year. The roads are awful. The cost of living is high and taxes are some of the worst in the nation. It is about a 2 to 1 ratio of men to women. A really bad place. :confused:

Now California has a lot more scenic beauty. That is where you should move. :welcome

Yeah ...pretty much the same for Wyoming. But I think our ratio is worse and the sheep are nervous !!

I personally am a glutton for bugs, high taxes and give me a two to one ratio, I'll be as happy as a pig in ****.
Anyways looks like you had a great adventure, great pictures - my legs are still healing from the cuts & scrapes. I can honestly say that Wyoming has left a scar :D

Great pictures Mags. There are only two attractive women in Colorado and you are hiking with both of them.

I did see an attractive woman in the Devils Thumb snow field on July 17. LemStar flew past my buddy and me.

You need to fight the huge traffic jam at the Eisenhower Tunnel to see the mountain scenery.

I was at Frozen Dead Guy Days and overheard a local comment "I hope summer this year is on a weekend so we can enjoy it." :clap

I seem to have luck hiking with (and dating from time to time) attractive Colorado hiker babes. :)

RE: Ike Tunnel
--Or fight the tourons on Trail Ridge road. ;) (Though Indian Peaks is easy to get to for me)

re: Frozen Dead Guy Days
Funny..I just watched "Grandpa's in the Tuff Shed" again!

The caretaker of Grandpa is one of our customers. He offered to give our staff a tour anytime we want to... Hmm.
