My brother, Boo and my cousin, Danny. Yeah, they got beat by these three....
after mike went up he came back down to where we were and we took a pic the the highest point that Dad and I got to which is called "the top of the trough", beginning of "the Narrows".
My dad and brother Boo have been
planning to hike to the top of Long's Peak, (the highest peak in the Rocky Mountain National Forrest, the 15th highest in Colorado)....Now that Boo is home from his mission....we are on the trip, Five of us of the 15 dared to go...it was a 15 mile round trip hike...that took us 13.5 hours. Waking up at 1am, leaving on the trail by 3am....Mike was the ONLY ONE to make it to the top. My dad and I had one hour left to go when clouds started brewing and we had to turn around so we didn't get struck my lightening. Disappointing. But I know I could've made it to the top too...so that's good enough for me.
