This was my present to myself on my 50th birthday! It was a real joy to hike to Chasm Lake junction (topo) by myself. I sprung the question on Mia in the morning - "Do you mind if I take a little hike, honey? without Julia and you? Please?" How could she say no .. on my 50th?I was well rewarded with bitter cold but blue skies. A nice winter day on Long's Peak. I hadn't been close to the Diamond since my accident over 10 years ago. Nice to hike to 11.5k and not a bad time either - for 50. Hah!
Sorry for the ugly mug shot. I'm usually much more handsome but you try holding the camera at arm's length in a 60mph wind AND trying to capture oneself AND the Diamond AND look good when your face is frozen. Well the looking good didn't happen ..
I was back in plenty time for a shower and shave before we went to Radda Trattoria for dinner - Great Italian Food!

I think you look HOT!(for a 50 year old, in a 60mph wind, above tree-line,in the winter etc.)
Hmmm, I'm not sure if I want to know who this is. If it's not a joke, it could be dangerous. If it is a joke, well .. then it's only a joke.
