very Fox like. Great story and fun to read, glad that you enjoy camping and being in the outdoors. We are all going to have to go to the San Juans this summer and do some camping/mountaineering! Nice pics too,
I hate lightning when camping. It scares me to death. I know someone who was struck after lightning hit a nearby tree, then traveled through it to a root that was under his sleeping bag, getting him in the process. He was a mess for about a week after, and still retreats to shelter at the slightest bit of thunder in the distance. I'm not that bad, but . . . Anyway, enjoyed reading your report. We all start somewhere and learn along the way. I'm still learning and probably have more than a thousand nights of camping. So much to learn. Such a great experience. Thanks for an interesting read. --mark d.
p.s.--Saw a photo of yours from Great Sand Dunes. I have a mountain page for High Dune. If you climbed that, please feel free to sign the climber's log.
