Road Trippin

I think I finally have my route planned out. For those who don't know, I'm working this summer at a Young Life camp in Colorado as a horse intern. Meaning somebody both thought that I would be competent leading people and being in charge of 45 horses, and that I would be able to keep from hurting myself and others with minimal supervision for an entire summer.

I'm leaving first thing Tuesday morning and driving to stay with a friend that lives just outside Kansas City. I'm gonna hang out with him for a bit, then meet up with my buddy Zach on Wednesday the 13th. Staying again in KC that night, then we are convoying to Colorado! Gonna camp the night of the 14th, hopefully at or near Pike's Peak. We decided to hike the Peak on the 15th, 14,110 feet high. Most likely taking the Barr Trail, 13 miles with 7400 feet of elevation change, the greatest of any of the 54 fourteeners in Colorado (via Wikipedia). Hopefully roll back down that, then camp again that night. Finally, arise to a brilliant day on the 16th, where Zach and I part ways and I drive the 3 or so hours left to get to Crooked Creek! Wooo!

Also, a few people have promised letters, and it would make me happy to have that happen. So here is my end of the bargain, my address. Just put my name at the top, and send whatever love you want to on to me!
P.O. Box 250
3000 County Rd 517
Fraser, CO 80442-0250
