About half a mile from our campground actually.

I haven't even dropped any Holy Cross, Horsethief Bench (maybe 1 so far) or Sovereign pics yet.

You know, it's still far enough away that you could work it out if you really wanted to.

See, we're not leaving until the 26th--you're in the clear!!! Just kidding. I suppose you and Foo have adequate excuses.

Congrats on the impending arrival.

I'll leave you with just one more:

Spec Ed on Holy Cross trail, Grand Junction

Haha--NO!! The trail goes around to the right. AND--don't start getting worried, the trail is actually a lot wider there than it looks. It's like at least 6-7 feet wide.

Seriously though--we don't do anything too crazy. And, anything that is too crazy for your personal comfort level can be walked. No worries.

Doug, I know you finally got everything booked, but as the time gets closer and if I can swing it, I'll head out there with you guys. I'll tent it if I have to, but hopefully I can find a room then?

It's going to be real iffy for me starting a new company.

I don't know what the availability will be if you go without a reservation. I'm not sure of the hotel vacancy possibilities.

The place we're staying may have available tent sites. How close to the trip would you know? When I made the cabin reservation, they told me I had until a month before the date to cancel and get my deposit back.

Not real sure of a lot of things at this time. Total available time and all. I'll have to wait till it gets closer.

I looked and I actually have a pic of it. If you look on the right edge of the pic, you will see the trail go to the right of the rock.

Here ya go...

Spec Ed on Kessel Run (one of the most fun trails I have ever ridden!!!)






Me and Spec Ed on Porcupine Rim



And--one of the best pics I've ever taken. It's not of a trail and the quality isn't the best, but a "once in a lifetime" moment: American Bald Eagle seen while on Horsethief Bench...
