I got a Marmot breathable waterproof jacket. At CMC tonight we learned that one basically trades off amount of water protection for amount of breathability. Once you hit about 10,000mm of water protection it is waterproof. Gor-tex is just this side of "doesn't breathe at all" and it basically worse then useless unless you are in submerged in water.

After the snow storm I decided to head to a trail head in Boulder. It was melting and thus this happened to the car.

There was a trail cut as far as I went. At some points it got waist deep with the trail being just wide enough to fit down. Also the micro spikes enabled me to do this hike. They held of *very* well.

This is right at the entrance. People come to climb it or watch others climb.

Dry Fit

I got a couple of dry fit shirts from Target for something like $8 each. I tried the bottom one out today and it was amazing. Ya I know my belly is showing, working on that. :)
The only long sleve one that I could find was at Dick's for $50. Going to check Target again before I rip the tag off of that.

Mallory Cave Cliff

I was trying to go to Mallory Cave today. Ended up stopping because of this feature. If I ended up hurting myself on that I was alone so without helpf. There had not been anyone up that way yet that day and I didn't see anyone on the way down either. It could have been a long wait. There is a reason that I carry the loudest whistle that I could buy.

Just love the extra little note.

Microspikes

Just got these in the mail. They look pretty awesome for walking across snow and ice.
@$50 for a pair
Still need to find some poles for a resonable price.

Mesa

From a hike down Table mesa

This was a blue chesse shallot bread. One of the best breads I have had. Still need to do some work to get the bread to hold together better.

The sparrow was just hanging around like that. I was amazed that it could hang on.

Bad printer

In the first image you can see what is displayed on the screen and in the bottom half you can see what came out of the printer.

Reseating one of the cartridges and we get the print on the right. On the left is the orginal "pink" print.
