Ha, that's Lloyd there in the pics, ain't it?

Thanks, Hurl. Ya it'll help, every little bit adds up.
Today was a huge success, found the duffel of climbing gear and got a lot of the mess cleaned up. Soon we'll be into shoveling the sand.
Some...

The clean up is still on for tomorrow and Sunday. I went out today and had a look to find that volunteers have cleaned out the basement but now my mountain gear is missing or burried in a pile of...

We'll be going in to work on it both days this weekend if anyone can make it. Same time and meeting place as before.
Thanks to all who have helped or donated, I can't do it alone.

I will go in tomorrow to work on my place. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I'll meet any wanting to help at the junction of Hwy 66 and 75th St. (goes through Hygeine) on the southwest corner...

I've run into some hard times with the floods in Colorado and need help in fixing my home up.
Any physical help or any donation would be greatly appreciated.
I'll post some pictures and a link...

I love shoveling the walk after a fresh dump. Nice view!

In direct high winds, they do tend to sublimate. Sometimes one week is all it takes. Here in CO anyway.

Glad to hear you've been using the igloo tool for 10 years, LBL. Nothing like a bit of experience in building the igloos.

Agreed, that looks like an interesting climb. Great trip and great pics.

Thanks, I called and asked if they would have stock next fall and was told they are the manufacturer and always have stock. They sure do look like the Wild Country super gaiters I used to have.

I've been looking for some super gaiters for the last two years and my two remaining worn out pairs are in really bad shape. I need some new ones for next season and can't find any info searching the...

The weather also seemed to shed some magic on some of the views with most of the clouds just high enough to look into the distance under them. Again, Mummy Mountain looked cool to the north of us:...

2010 Annual Igloo Trip

I normally do a ten night igloo trip every year and this year I had ambitious goals of sleeping on the summits of Otis, Taylor and Powell Peaks in Rocky Mountain National...

Thanks Jax, getting to be a small world. Say hey next time, even if I'm pretending to be busy.

Dude!? Heh, thanks, I guess...
Yes, the igloos built with the ICEBOX work best on trips where they are used when built but the build time is often the problem. One needs to become pretty proficient...

A guy's gotta take care of himself, ya know. Except for using powdered milk, that's the same type of food that I take on 10 night trips, but I do use a pulk to haul it.
It's pretty convenient to be...

A garbage bag with a little snow in it so it doesn't blow in the wind, reinforce the corners with tap so it can be hung with stakes. It works well but not as convenient as our door with the slit down...

I may have missed your point. If you're asking how is it to stay a long time then I've stayed in one igloo for four nights, done several five night trips with more than one igloo site and did one...

I've heard of NPs where they require you to knock them down when you leave but most just ask that they be knocked down.
There are a lot of depends on how long an igloo will last but the longest I've...

Why limit yourself to the same old spot all winter and risk the fines?
