Well, we haven't gotten out to the mountains in a couple of weeks, bah humbug. On second thought, that's not entirely true. Last weekend, we drove up to Breckenridge to try to bag Pacific Peak, which was going to be a fun Class 2+ scramble, but as we drove toward Breck, the clouds got thicker and thicker and lower and lower. So, we ended up stopping for donuts (Daylight Donuts, on main street in Breck, YUMMY) and headed back down the hill, very unsatisfied. But if the weather holds, this weekend should be a hiking weekend!! And the following weekend, we are headed to the White River National Forest to backpack and maybe bag a peak there as well.
In other news, Green Mountain got hit with a bad hail storm. The stones dented up Tom's car pretty badly and ruined our hot tub cover. Of course, Denver's version of storm chasers were out after the storm, and roofing company signs line our streets now. Our roof inspection comes this week, so we may be getting a new roof out of this. The hail was the biggest I've seen out here yet. Hail is common in Colorado, and it seems a neighborhood or two around the Denver metro area gets hit hard each year, it seems this was our year. You can see the quarter for a size comparison. Yikes!
