[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 240364, member: 2189"] No, I hadn't even heard of those but what I meant was some ding dong having a big screen strapped to his backpack walking up the trail. :lol: I always love it when I hear some say, "well we're gonna rough it this weekend and go camping!" only to see them drive off in a top of the line Prevost motorhome. I'd like to take them in the middle of January into the heart of the Smokey Mountains with everything you've got in a backpack on your back and show them what roughing really is. It's pure bliss if you ask me and I've done it oh so many times. You got some beautiful country in your neck of the woods in Rocky Mountain National park but the most beautiful place I saw out there was the north rim of Black Canyon of the Gunnison because the High Desert floor is loaded with wildflowers backdropped by beautiful mountains and then the canyon itself is unreal. My best picture was an over the rim shot that I got by wedging my feet under a large rock outcrop and then laying out horizonal over the edge from the waste up and looking straigth down a 2000 plus foot vertical drop. Even though I violated the rule of no safety rope, my experience climbing and especially spelunking had me very confident because of how I had my feet wedged in under a rock weighing several tons. However 20 years later don't ask me to do that again because I've lost that testosterone belief in immortal life! :lol: That whole place was just magical to me and I envy you living near it. [/QUOTE]
