Mount Bierstadt

This morning I got up at 4:00 to drive two hours to climb my first fourteener!

It was so much fun!

As we were driving up we went up through the clouds! It was super awesome to try to look at the valley we had just come through and see it covered with a blanket of fog.

We got to watch the sun rise over the mountain!

I went with a group of 60+ people.

I love the mountains! All the rocks and boulders, and the moss growing between.

We climbed up to the tippity top!

It was so much fun!

You should totally come with us next time!

There is an ancient tale of a king who wanted to pick the wisest man among his subjects to be his prime minister. When the search finally narrowed down to three men, he decided to put them to the supreme test.

Accordingly, he placed them together in a room in his palace.  On the door he placed a lock that was the last work in mechanical ingenuity.  The candidates were informed that who ever was able to open the door first would be appointed to the post of honor. 

The men immediately set themselves to the task.  Two of them began at once to work out complicated mathmatical formulas to discover the lock's combination. The third man, however, just sat down, completely lost in thought.  Finally, without even putting pen to paper, he got up, walked to the door and simply turned the handle.  The door opened to his touch.  It had been unlocked the entire time!

Sometimes it is the one with the most
