2008 Intentions: Helped Ellen finish her goal of climbing all 54 of Colorado's fourteeners! Hosted the SP Gathering in Colorado's mighty San Juan Mountains on July 19--IT WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! Thanks to all SPers and Usual Suspects that participated! For the rest of the season, relax and enjoy the mountains!

The embedded video below is something I quickly put together to increase awareness about the illegal fee program on Mount Evans in Colorado, as well as the controversial fee demo program in general throughout America!

Cathode Raytube Land starts up again on November 1st. This is what keeps me busy through the winter.
