Longmont, Colorado

Arrived in C.O last night after a beautiful drive through rain, rainbows, meadows and mountains. Staying with fatkid(David) and Zen(Gavin) from the A.T and got some micro brew at Oskar Blues in Lyons for the start of Rocky Grass Bluegrass Festival. Great music but sorry Oskar, Portland has got you beat on brew!

Colorado, Colorado, Colorado!

Its official in 3 hours I leave for Colorado, to attempt the 500 mile long Colorado Trail. It's been almost a year since I last blogged, but I hope to post as much as possible throughout the trip to and from Colorado. I was super fortunate to stay busy with landscaping work after finishing the ski season on Mt. Hood last winter, helping me frugally hike this trail. Its been almost two years since I hiked a long distance, and I'm proud to say I am once again "Hiker Trash". Happy Trails. Updates to Follow.... TOOTHPICK....
