Well it so happens that there was a blizzard coming in the next day (in the middle of June)but we decided to go anyway. We got to timberline and we called you on my dads cell for a weather update. 2 hours later we summited. Thanks to Neil.

We all should be so lucky.<br /><br />This story also reminds me that, being so close to a metropolitan area, Pikes Peak and the Pike National Forest see their share of the uninitiated and unprepared.<br /><br />It would be a blessing indeed if more of us with the knowledge and skills would take notice of and educate those we meet who do not.<br /><br />These are our mountains to respect and our neighbors to protect.<br /><br />Neil I've never met you ... yet I have.

The two of you truly make the mountain a safer and more wonderful place for all of us! I know that peaceful solitude of being up on that mountain alone. It is definatly a wonderful experience, as long as those who enjoy it go prepared and safely.

I have been to Barr Camp three times this summer, spending the night the last time I hiked to the Summit. I feel like I know you somewhat as a great cook, storyteller, and hard working person. Your concern for the well being of other individuals though, exceeds these obvious traits. I hope you are still there when I come up again next year.....or maybe I will make a winter trip just to say hi.<br /><br />Erich BalzerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17548084.post-20852933905914497472006-12-22T12:11:00.000-07:002006-12-22T12:11:00.000-07:00This wonderful story fails to identify the author,...This wonderful story fails to identify the author, who is also a hero: Neil Taylor.
