It has been a stormy couple of weeks in the Pikes Peak region and today was no different. Late May snow two nights in a row has blanketed the mountain in a beautiful mantle of white. I was planning to take a drive down the Phantom Canyon Road this morning but after I awoke to … Continue reading A Week of Storms

More Gold Mines
Nothing new to see on this morning's hike... the peak looked the same as always and I didn't get a chance to photograph the deer herd before they headed up the mountainside on terrain too difficult for my two legs! So I just finished my hike and made my usual rounds to the gym, the … Continue reading More Gold Mines
Deer & Crystal Reservoir
Pretty successful day today... Have been trying to find out about hours and fees on the Pikes Peak Highway via phone with no luck this spring. Specifically I was wondering if the reduced fee for visiting the reservoirs only was in effect yet. Today I was determined to find out for sure! Best way to … Continue reading Deer & Crystal Reservoir
Difference a Few Days Can Make
The weather changes fast in Colorado, that much is certain! A few days ago I was making my morning rounds, the gym, the grocery store, the library, etc. until I finally ran out of things to do. So I stopped at my favorite Pikes Peak viewing location to walk the doggies. When I was done … Continue reading Difference a Few Days Can Make
Tour of the Mines
Had a day off from unloading Walmart trucks yesterday... Didn't bother to make any plans as I am usually so trashed from the trucks the day before that I am unable to function, but unfortunately I was up way early anyway with nothing to do. Was going to make my usual rounds running errands, which … Continue reading Tour of the Mines
Broken Memories
Finally resolved an issue that has been dogging me for years... The question, is highway 67 paved all the way from Woodland Park to highway 285. I know I was on that segment, probably 30 years ago... fishing with friends near Deckers, way too long ago to remember details, other than 285 from Littleton and … Continue reading Broken Memories
Surreal Day
Stopped by the Garden on my way back from giving a friend a ride to the cancer Pavilion at Penrose to see if I could find the bighorn sheep. No luck there, but the view of Pikes Peak was kind of pretty. Well worth stopping at the visitor's center for a few shots anyway. Been … Continue reading Surreal Day
Leading Indicator of Better Times
Before 2008 when the stock and housing markets crashed, there were indicators of the choppy seas ahead. My wife and I were involved in three businesses, unfortunately all non-essential to daily life. She had two businesses, mobile disc jockeying in the wedding industry and the online and physical sales of collectibles at a store we … Continue reading Leading Indicator of Better Times
Pikes Peak or Bust
Pikes Peak or Bust, my motto lately, became one step closer to reality today. Under contract for a house in the old west mining town of Cripple Creek, Colorado. Sketchy start to the day however, as creepy stalker woman somehow managed to be out working in the yard in March at 7:00 a.m. so as … Continue reading Pikes Peak or Bust
Real Health Insurance
Going down to the post office today to pick up my health insurance. Not the kind of insurance you usually think of though, this is cheap insurance and a very small price to pay for real health insurance at that. The health insurance I am talking about is colloidal silver. Comes from a company called … Continue reading Real Health Insurance
