Speaking of warming up, it was 70 in the house when we got home from work. It got up in the 60s today by golly. We are currently planning for a high to extreme wildland fire season this year with the lack of winter precip. We did get 6" freaky spring snow last week with 1-2 feet over 10,000 feet. It was melted by the next morning.

By July each year Krista and I have just about had enough of Mesa Verde Nat'l Park and really look forward to and enjoy the time, trails and KOA camp fire socials. :-bd

:shock: HAWT DAWG! :-bd I am really glad we didn't take any pictures of the time we almost went off in the canyon in Wally while running up to Yankee Boy when there was still 12-18" snow across the trail. We had the itch for the mountains bad and was first week of June. Wally tore up a good bit of alpine tundra in a reverse 180* loop to get back on the trail. It was a white knuckle day.

Unfortunately I will not be there this year or next. Uncle Sam decided I should go on a sightseeing tour to KOREA. I am going to visit the DMZ for a year and then I shall return.

Wondering if anybody has a spot they'd be willing to share. Just me, one Jeep and an off-road trailer-tent thing.

Sorry you can't make it this year. Not 100% I can. What about your cabin? That would put a even more push on me to make it. I'll be in need of a break from here by then.

So I got lucky (very lucky) and scored the week off of work. Reservations made and Dave put me in site 49 (I guess XJChad downsized?). Arrive Tuesday and leave Saturday.
