Sunday, Sunday, Sunday...

Happy Birthday Pays 4 Busch (Joel)!!!

We awake ~ 4:00 to hike Greys & Torries Peaks. Knees Up & Chinwacker decide they need the altitude training for the Leadville Marathon, so they go with us.

If you have never done a 14er before these are two that would be good. They are easy...nothing technical about them, no rock scrambling, nice worn trails, etc. It took us ~5.5 hours from the first step on trail to the last step off trail.

Knees Up and Chinwacker decided to set some sort of world record for time...and were basically running the whole thing...Damn over-achievers!!! At the top of Torries, I whipped out a cupcake with a candle and had everyone that was on top sing Happy Birthday to Joel. Had a few issues on the way to Greys...got light headed, pukey like, and heart was racing...so what should have taken up ~30 min or so took me 45 min to get to the top.

Joel and I then proceeded to Parker to have a late lunch and birthday celebration with his family. Mumm...thanks for the steaks.
