I saw your post on 14er.com and followed the link here. At first I as like, "this guy is a bit crazy with the details." Then I rean your story and realize what a great acheivement this is going to be for you. I don't even know you and I'm excited for you. Keep planning because if you are anything like me, the planning is often the most exciting part. <br /><br />I live in Colorado Springs and love hiking to Barr Camp. I've made a mental note of your hiking date and if I'm around, I might join you for a late lunch at camp. Keep of the good work and great inspiration. <br /><br />Lastly, I think you'll be glad you made that second night reservation beause you may suprise yourself and choose to go up and back down. :)Michele Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752790835382647363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544939628443412102.post-3745194602225606352014-03-28T12:22:36.432-07:002014-03-28T12:22:36.432-07:00Definitely.

We want to give our bodies a chance to acclimate. <br /><br />Our high level intermarry so far:<br /><br />8/6/14 - per a suggestion to allow our bodies time to acclimate to the altitude we plan to arrive in Colorado Springs<br />8/7/14 - Get a lay of the land, trail head, Pike's Peak entrance, restaurants, begin rounding up those that have said they would join us, practice hike / site seeing in one of the many trails suggested to us, perhaps something a Garden of the God's.<br />8/8/14 - A day on top of Pike's Peak, per a suggestion we will drive to the top of Pike's Peak to help our bodies become even more acclimated to the altitude. We will picnic, site see, practice hikes, and over all relax and enjoy each other's company.<br />8/9/14 - Hit the Barr Trail trail head by early, 6 or 7 a.m.'ish local time. Ascend to Barr Camp taking in the beauty and reveling in the experience. The afternoon and night will be spent on the side of the mountain at the Barr Camp level. We have purchased the private large upper cabin which sleeps 12. family and close friends that wish to spend the night may sleep with us in there on the 9th.<br />8/10/14 - leave Barr Camp early and attempt to summit Pike's Peak! Enjoy the moment! later descend via car either by either a relative, friend, or car service. That night celebrate, if enough energy, at a location to be determined!Joseph Kahlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732459645244314872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7544939628443412102.post-61485507773799226962014-03-28T11:54:26.653-07:002014-03-28T11:54:26.653-07:00Will you be coming to town for a couple of days be...Will you be coming to town for a couple of days before your hike?
