At Penn State, I worked for Campus Recreation's Outdoor Adventures program as a trip leader. My coworkers were some pretty rad people, and I always imagined that post grad, I'd be adventuring with some of them in landscapes that offer more than central PA. This past week, that became true, as I visited two new towns and adventured with college friends.
My first stop after getting off of the Colorado Trail was Vail. My friend Jack lives there and works as a guide with Apex Mountain School. Both Jack and his girlfriend, Jourdan, were RPTM majors with me at Penn State, and Jack was a trip leader with me at Outdoor Adventures. It was super cool to visit Vail for the first time as well as to see Jack & Jourdan in their element!
After my time in Vail I drove to Fort Collins to visit my friend Carrie and her boyfriend Chad, both of whom I know from Outdoor Adventures. They are crushers for sure! We got into lots of climbing and a burly hike of my first 14,000 footer. Pictures will be able to share the story better...
Colorado continues to rock my world, pun fully intended! For the next week or so, I'm living in Breckenridge at 10,500ft at a fortuitous free accommodation. I'm looking forward to a strong week of NBA Playoff basketball, fitness, and planning the rest of this road trip!
