Yes, Meryl, I had little energy left by the time I summited Brokenback, and there was precious little oxygen to be had (I think most of it was frozen!) but I did the yeehaw, sent best wishes to John and Phillip, and even performed in a short movie singing "Water Walkin Jesus!"

It's been a snowy winter so far in the Rocky Mountains. It appears that we've been getting most of the snow that regularly falls in the East. Here is a scene from my road trip to Wyoming. Less snow there than in Colorado, and the snow mainly is blown away by the wind.

A Colorado couple sold three snowballs on eBay for $200 to somebody in Connecticut. Frontier Airlines took them and their cooler to New England to deliver the snowballs for free. Why couldn't I think of that!  ::)

Yeah, Lee, I might have sprung for some snow from the top of ol' Brokenback!  At any rate, I hope you brought back some rocks.  ;D

No rocks, Meryl. I did not have the strength to burrow down thru the snow to where rocks might be...but I did receive a beautiful little pine cone, which I treasure.

It's been almost two weeks since I've posted here!! The snow in Colorado has started to melt, but more is in the forecast. Here's the latest view of my humble abode:
