I am familiar with the area around Longs Peak and have hiked up to the Boulder Field and surrounding area many times. To say the area is massive is an understatement. The size and scale of this area alone makes it difficult to search. And the trail leading up to the Boulder Field / Keyhole area...

Here’s a local news article I found yesterday re: what Ethan Couch’s lawyers expect to happen with his sentence: http://www.wfaa.com/story/news/local/tarrant-county/2016/01/20/lawyers-ethan-couch-likely-return-us-weeks/79077300/ Wynn and Brown said they expect the transfer to...

My stepdad passed away very unexpectedly almost two years ago. We held his memorial service at the cider mill where he worked every fall since retiring from his full-time job. He took a job at the cider mill, not because he needed to work, but because of how much he enjoyed being outdoors...

Good morning, everyone! Here's hoping today's the day! Sending heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Travis' family.

Done! Really hoping this goal is reached, if not exceeded! Keep us posted, KCL! :)
