14er
Well its been a little over a year that ive lived in Colorado and I finally hiked my first 14er. After camping at the base (which was still above tree line) and having a miserable night in the wind and rain we headed up Democrat.
Now for those of you in the know - I only climbed Democrat not Lincoln or Bross. For those of you Not in the know its a series of 3 peaks over 14000 feet that are often hiked at once. But after the sleepless night we decided one was enough.
1 down 51 to go. :)
** a 14er is any mountain with a summit over 14000 feet. There are 52 (or 56 if you talk to some people) in the state of Colorado. **

Book recommendation
Family, Friends, Random Strangers...
I just read a book this past week that I would recommend to you all. It is called 'Epicenter' and it was written by Joel Rosenburg.
Joel Rosenburg is the guy who's fiction books have this nasty habit of coming true. Like terrorists flying airplanes into buildings... which he wrote about (but didnt get published) before 9/11. In this book he starts off explaining how he seems to "predict" future events so often. Then he goes on to explain some headlines he thinks we'll see in the next several years.
How does he do it? Basically he read Ezekiel 38&39 and thought it sounded like it could happen in our time. He has worked with a number of international heads of state so he picks their brains on whats happening in the world. Then he just started writing fiction books of how he thought the world could be brought to the point where Ezekiel's prophecy came true.
At the very least it is extreemly insightful into what some of the world leaders are thinking right now.
Read it. Tell me what you think.
