As I write this, a looming storm is swirling over Boulder, threatening to drop between 6-14 inches of snow — in May! Granted, most of these late spring storms tend to be more rain than anything else, but who knows? A final burst of winter is fine with me.
I love a nice grey, rainy, sleety day to start lining up adventures for the upcoming months. It looks like 2010 is shaping up to be the year of long ridgewalks, more mountain biking and as much doggie daring do as Fremont can handle! There are a few mountain projects I’m ready to give a shot: a full trek of the Grand Traverse Peak – North Traverse Peak summits outside of Vail, Bard Peak to Hagar Peak super traverse and locally, scaling the south ridge of South Boulder Peak.
I also think I’m ready to seriously develop my main website, Mountainouswords.com (I’ve decided to develop it more towards Colorado hiking and biking, though I still want to work in all my video game stuff too). I wish, wish, wish I had the money and time to just write but as has often been the trend in Colorado, I tend to have one or the other but rarely both at once. My freelance work and the 9-5 (well, technically 8-5) at Natural Habitat has been keeping me mondo busy. I’m also developing the final manuscript for my second book — so I guess complaining about writing is sort of a moot point.
How about you guys? What’s on the agenda for spring of 2010?
