If you’d like to be a fool, be sure to join the hike next year! The three fools from this year were, below, left to right, Alex Rudd, Walt Haas, and Bard Lefevre. They braved the weather and made it to the summit (as well as back down safely)!

Yes, it’s been a great snow year for the Sawatch and Mosquito Ranges as explained by Eric Hunter, leader of these adventurous Pikes Peak Group trekkers. It was still cool and the snow relatively firm on this beautiful blue bird sky day, later warming into the 50’s thus softening the snow for this 8-mile jaunt and creating an anticipation for the cold beer and food later. The trail we hiked along is loaded with history and lots of current- day activity. In the 1880’s the Denver, Rio Grande & Western trains chugged along this roadbed to get over the pass and later through a tunnel.

Wells St., Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53233 ISBN 0-89326-122-X © 1986 Milwaukee Public Museum Abstract Two east-west transects examined in western Utah and eastern Nevada preserve Upper Ordovician-Lower Silurian lithofacies along a carbonate ramp transitional between a shelf and basin. Previous investigators have reconstructed this margin as a classic carbonate shelf with an abrupt, linear margin between shelf and slope. However, lithofacies change gradually between shelf and slope and are better explained by a carbonate ramp model. Intertidal and shallow subtidal dolomites are present to the east, with progressively deeper water limestones with increasing fine grained terrigenous content toward the west. Shelf edge reefs or shallow water carbonate margin buildups are absent. Latest Ordovician glacio-eustatic decline in sea level produced a period ofsubaerial exposure in the shallow eastern region. However, deposition continued deeper on the ramp, where shallow-water, cross laminated, massive dolomites were deposited during the glacio-eustatic regression. The carbonate ramp pattern was disrupted in the Middle or early part of the Late Llandovery, when an abrupt margin was established by listric growth faulting.
