Well, with the recent snows in Colorado, as you can tell by viewing my cabin, skiing should be getting off to a really great start. We've got a few more storms on the horizon, so make those reservations and head to the slopes!! Note: When driving through snow country...no matter where...please slow down and you'll arrive sooner and safely.

Cell phones invade wilderness. This article was really interesting. Now cell phones to me are a really terrific item to have if ya get lost or have an accident in the back country. The whole idea behind camping and hiking and all the great activities in the outdoors, is to get away from the hustle and bustle and stress! Imagine this ... the backwoods filled with people talking to their stock broker, accountant, lawyer, hairdresser etc... TERRIFIC...now you just brought all your stress with you! Even the wildlife is getting nervous! When ya travel to the Great Outdoors, put a tag on that cell phone..."EMERGENCY USE ONLY"...your enjoyment will be enhanced greatly.
