Skiing in Colorado, exploring the canyons of Utah and walking 110 miles on the Arizona Trail.

Phew!

Anyway, thought I'd say hello.

I made a BMT slideshow that I am burning to DVD.

I also made a lo-res version for YouTube:

It was a great trip indeed! I love it! As for the sign. Heh.

My only regret? Why couldn't this happen in March! I could do the Arizona Trail!

They are harmless..until you turn your back and they grab your food!

The marmots are very common in the high alpine terrain of Colorado.
