Notes on rock work

Notes on restoration

Heading up for a ten day hitch

It's Saturday night and I'm in Leadville. I wanted to update you all before I head back up the mountain. I am meeting a group of Rocky Mountain Youth Corps (RMYC) tomorrow morning. RMYC has partnered with CFI in the past and it has worked very well. The RMYC area a youth corps ages 18-24. They spend a summer doing mostly trail work in the rocky mountains. They will be spending the rest of the summer with us. I expect that we will get a lot of good work done. Don't be saddened though. There are still opportunities to volunteer. If you are interested in working with us just check out our website 14ers.org and contact us. We will take people anytime we are up there.

End of July: some old work, some new work, and some views.



You can see Buffalo Peak in the distance just poking above the clouds. One morning the clouds swept in like an ocean in the valley.



A staircase we build.



The flowers this spring/summer have been amazing. All of that rain we received in June made July very beautiful!



A staircase some volunteers from Overland Summers built.



These are some more stairs Overland Summers built.

Some work done and some to do.



MT Massive from around 13,000 ft in elevation.



These are "Old Men of the Mountain." They are in the sunflower family. They turn to face the sun.



This is a wall and 4 stairs that Zack from Overland Summers built.
