Colorado

New Index (much FASTER!)

Can you say awesome vacation!!? Well it was, and I intend on making a bit of a photo album of the adventures of this trip. Making a photo album is quite a lot of effort, and to do a good job is a real pain! Most of this effort has been neglected, so the pictures aren't quite true colour. Actually, it's not even close, but they still don't look too bad.

This trip was actually a business trip out to 40th Street Denver. I took some days off and kept busy after work. My friend Eva (from Slovakia) came with me and we stayed about 2 weekings in Colorado. We spent all but a few days with Dave Reichert, and his awesome new house.

The last 3 days were spent in Utah!. I am quite amazed that people don't rave about this place more. Totally awesome.

The organisation is coming .... Still too many pictures of goats, well actually I think they are sheep. Well I think there is one picture of Eva and a Rocky Mountain Big Horn Sheep (ewe) and the rest are Moutain Goats

Slow Connection?? Tell someone who cares! I have ISDN at home and a T3 at work. Well actually I will get thumb nails real soon now.

Something

• Sitting Duck
• Rockies - (Baseball) - Friday after work. Actually this was a really good game, but I don't remember who it was against. I think the final score was 12-11 (the Rockies win!)
• Eva going to the Denver Zoo - I was busy fixing stuff for AT&T. Meanwhile Eva gets to check out the local zoo!

The sheep where pretty cool. We didn't get to see any rams. Well there was one, but he was fairly far away. Don't feed the sheep.

• Hello Goat
• Me and a Goat
• Hay, I'm a Goat, and I'm Cool!
• The King Goat!
• Hangin' with the Goats
• Model Goat (best foot forward)

• Tourist shot on Mount Evans of Eva and I
• Tourist shot on Mount Evans of DR and I
• Mount Evans? - I think this was near that lake on the way down .. but I am not sure

• Snow Stream - at lake Isabelle? Brainard?

Well this was a fun day. We hiked all over Mount Falcon. Silly us, though, we didn't bring any water. We started around 7am I guess. DR came with, but then had to go to work. We finished hiking around 1pm (quite thirsty by this point!) and had a lovely lunch in the nearby town of Morrison.

Pikes Peak

• The lake at Pikes Peak
• Eva at that lake
• Eva on a small hill by that lake.
• Eva looking down on that lake - I hate it when I can't remember the names of things...
• The little cabin on the up to the top of Pikes Peak
• Eva and I at Pikes Peak - at the 9mile point, or something like that. We couldn't go to the top because the wind was really strong and had busted a bunch of windows (that and they wouldn't let us pass!)

Cave of the Winds

Reasonably cool place (58F or something), but the idea of caving as a tourist thing was kinda lost on us. The area that they were located in is very pretty.

• Eva at the start of the tour
• Cave Castle or tourist trap. The lights made for an interesting view. But it lost that naturalness.
• Outside the cave. The left side is where the caves are. Actually the caves are attached to where that building is.
