Ok so the boys from lanc held true to their word and came out to visit me in Boulder. They were here for 7 days...They hit Colorado...and they hit it hard...
Day 1 :
They had a redeye flight and said lets do something epic. I suggested we climb a mountain...
Day 2:
we wake up at 1:30 am drive to Rocky Mountain National Park and depart for Longs peak at 3:30 am. This 14, 239 foot mountain boasts a 7 mile approach and is one of the more technical class 3 summits in CO.
Day 3:
Took a much needed chill day and really did nothing of substance till the Rockies game that night.
Day 4:
I had to work but they went hiking all day then I took them out bouldering in the evening
Day 5:
Once again I had to work yet they got to go white water rafting...jerks....then we hit the town
Day 6:
Yet more work for me, but the boys hung round and explored boulder a little more. That night however one of my buddies from Montana was passing through and so was Marks Cuz so we all packed up and off roaded / hiked to lost lake for some camping, and fishing.
Day 7:
While exploring the area the next day we found some old mining relics - old barns, blown up mines, and even machinery that had a date stamp of 1896 on it! We then went for a quick dip in the alpine lake and head home.
It was a kickass week and hope that no matter where we all end up we can continue to do this kinda stuff...Next time come to Montana boys!!
