So good to see you all and how lucky were we to have such good weather!? It was more emotional for me than I thought it would be after 5 years. However, hearing Christian explain his closing remarks and how he's dealing with the loss of his beloved father helped me put it in perspective. Thank you C...

Wouldn't miss it in the world. Brings tears... bitter sweet memories and realization of closure.

Thank you Hank!

I Can't believe four years have gone by and still nothing has been found. I know it's not for the lack of trying. This hiking community is awesome, thank you all for not forgetting and giving up. Contemplating of hiking Sixshooter-Icehouse loop next weekend.... last hike gpsjoe and I hiked together ...

Happy Birthday Joe, you are missed and never forgotten!

Wow, gpsjoe and I hiked there. Lovely area.
We had two GPS' between us. I can see that without that or good orienteering skills one can easily get lost

Thank you Bob! Very interesting and hopeful that maybe there will be some findings in 2014 so we all can come to closure. This past weekend I hiked with some friends from Canyon Lake to FW. Joe loved this hike and once a year Joe and I hiked from FW to Canyon Lake, had lunch, desert, coffee and hike...

Bob, any idea which newspaper was going to publish this?

Everytime I drive up and back from our cabin I drive past that mountain range and think and wonder and remember gpsjoe and all the good and funny times we had. Miss you Joe!

I had to download the free Garmin "Base Camp" software manager.. this means learning a new Garmin tracks/routes/waypoints manager; I found the Base Camp software at first quite frustrating to learn. After viewing several 'how-to' videos at various sites, I finally got it! I also have a ga...

I have the Garmin Edge 800 I have attached to my mountain bike and like it a lot. Display is touch screen and large text/numbers. I'm now waiting for the release of the Garmin fenix

@rlrjamy Really glad to hear he's improving! I could have been driving a really nice car given the money I spent on my Lab... Instead, my vet is driving it. I have two yellow Labs that had their bout with cancer. Several years ago I obtained pet insurance (one of the top rated ones) and I can only ...

Depends on the trail. When doing a 14er it's definitely cardio

oh man, timing is not on my side. I have to put this on my to do again list for another time you guys have fun!

I've heard that in the springtime in that area rattlesnakes are particularly numerous, FYI. After doing Devil's Chasm in the snow/ice with Gabriele a year ago, I'd much rather go back in the spring. And for me the bonus would be a better chance to add to my snake video collection! :y: Don't listen ...

Shavano is a good one. Plus, you can combine it with Tabeguache for additional elevation. Also, at the south end of the range, it's closer to me. Hotels and camping in the area, and the valley is low (for Colorado) to the east, so it feels more like a mountain than just a peak in a high range. Not ...

@CannondaleKid I have ordered up a clear, 65 degree day for great viewing. Wow! Almost a case of be careful what you wish for! :o Somebody screwed up the "order" and gave me an extra 10 degrees for Sunday! :lol: 75 Degrees and Sunny! Whatever Ice is left up there will be long gone with th...

Hope to see you. You have to let us know how it is coming from the other side. Never done that side but it's been on my radar screen.

Thanks Tibber! To make sure, it's already clipped onto my pack (now I just have to remember the pack ;) )
