My G8 just checked off another goal today. Her goals are to visit the general extremities of America. She's been to waters of the West Coast, East Coast, and the North Coast (Great Lakes). Today, she made it to the Top of America near the peak of the Mount Evans Summit. The road that goes to the summit is the highest paved road in North America. Not only that, the parking lot at the end of the Mount Evans Scenic Byway is subsequently the highest paved parking in North America at 14,132' above sea level.

G8 checked off another goal
Mount Evans Day Trip
It's been a long time coming. The shutdown in 2020 prevented plans, and then stuff going on in 2021 delayed plans again. However, Allie and I have finally made the drive to the highest paved road (and subsequently, the highest paved parking lot) in North America! We decided to take Joie and Toebzilla with us as well. Even though the drive can be a bit nerve-racking, especially near the top, the experience was great once we reached the summit. I'm glad we were able to visit the summit together. The weather was clear and the temperature was nearly perfect (not too hot or too cold). It was a great way to beat the 100+°F temps in the Denver area for the day (at least until we returned home).

The Ice Dragon and the Blue Rose, Second Edition is now available!
At long last, the Second Edition of my book, The Ice Dragon and the Blue Rose is now available. The book has been refreshed to use current common practices for ebook organization; and, well, spelling and grammar fixes.
This is a "Decide My Quest" story that allows you to choose how you wish to experience your quest. This is an awesome reimaging of 2nd person and interactive storying telling. Your choices allow you to see the same story from multiple (and sometimes opposing) perspectives. I loved making this story and even rereading it! The story contains multiple dead-ends and multiple success endings. Check it out!I hope to make more of these types of stories in the future, as time allows. It's a fairly complex process to write these, but the results are great!
