Another Scary Road or Making Coffee at 12,000 feet


Yesterday Em, CeCe, alex and I made the drive up to Trail Ridge Visitor Center to see where Jake and Levi work and to test our manliness at hight altitudes. I wasn't prepared for the cajones that would be required to drive on that road. I kept telling myself to breath and relax, and asking myself what I was so freaked about, after all I had been climbing for 2 days. Then I realized, it was because I wasn't roped in!
Alpine Tundra, pretty desolate, I must say. I think the lack of oxygen does impact the intellience of the tourists. Jake and Levi have endless tales about that. Then it started to snow so we came down. It would be fun to have a snow day in August.
