Hey everyone! I had a fun little trip up Longs early last week and wrote up a trip report about it. If you're so inclined you can read all about it on my blog.

From Mills to Longs summit in three hours and five minutes?
Barefoot?
As in 185 minutes?
As in without shoes?
Dang!
(Way to go! You're the man, Big Al!)

I've said it before... but Big Al... you truly are my hero! And I have no doubt that those highly seasoned feet are going to sail through your 100-miles at Leadville! I loved your blog post! It's the closest I will ever get to an experience... or a euphoria of that magnitude.
