Probably my favorite blog entry ever on this site, Lou, I would love to see more from your journals as well.

Flash paper works well on Firefox.

I thought for sure a supporter of Challenger as its’ own peak would give you a hard time, but I guess not. (Not a peak in my book either).

I wish I had kept a journal on my 14er climbs back in HS. I’m sure I would find my viewpoints interesting all these years and experiences later. I kept a journal later on, but not lately. The TR’s that I have been doing lately should serve that purpose well, complete with photos.

Keep up the good work.

Great post Lou, I’d also love to see more journal type entries if you’re willing to share them. So much to learn from them.

As for my journal, I write a few sentences each day in a wall calendar. Great to look back at them and see what I was doing on this day years ago.

Tony, yeah, even if I was the same body as several decades ago I’d dial it back because of family responsibility. Life is about seasons…

Tom, I’ll experiment with doing the old style of linking to enlarged photo vs using Flash Paper. It’ll probably end up being both. When I’m short on time I’ll just whip out the Flash Paper, when I’ve got more time I’ll do the enlarged version. And, when it’s something important such as a huge panorama, we’ll definitely provide the enlarged JPEG.

I really enjoyed the vintage journal entry. Would like to read more of the same.
