Good trip report Mockba. Glad to see that a few people made it to the top. It looks like you had very stong winds near the summit. I also like the backpack that you're wearing in the photos.
The report evolved quite a bit since it was posted, with new sections about people and with a section of links to the past TRs, news stories, and photo albums from Kings Peak Runs. So please visit again :)))
Yeah, mountaingazelle - and I figured why my pack had this interesting shape. It is just, I left a rolled foam mat inside in the morning LOL.
NICE JOB, as usual! Was fasinated by the "tidbits" about
the red-hued Northern Lights. I have seen them here in Arizona!
It was during the dead of winter when I saw them. It was scary
at first, because I didn't know what they were, until I read about
it in the local newspaper. Thanks for the incredible information!
were truly spectacular, seen all the way down to Mexico and in truly unusual colors too. I didn't recognize them for what they were right away, too ... thought it was a glare from breaking lights of a rickety Ford Escort we were driving up this washboard from Lone Tree, at first LOL!
Here is a great page describing this Auroras event
