Part IV: Colorado, land of hoopsticks, famous people, and snow

January 26, 2010 - 12:33 am

As we’re now doing everything out of order, I figured I’d go ahead and explain Colorado.   I thought I’d give you illiterate subscribers a break and do a photo montage:

Colorado was lovely.  We interviewed Cam Burns, Josh Wharton, Jim Erickson, Lynn Hill, Tommy Caldwell to name a few.

“What interview so far has been the absolute craziest?” asked Cam Burns in his basement/climbing gym.

I reply, “This one is ranking pretty high so far…”

    I love the colors that come out in your photos, they’re so vivid! Your photo’s bring back memories of the very few outdoor trips we took in my childhood. Keep em coming.

    I got a fever and the only cure is more hoopstick.
