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!

Trail 10 - Shady on a hot day
This past weekend, Allie and I drove a bit. The destination was Meyer Ranch Park (backup link) From the book, 60 Hikes within 60 Miles for Denver and Boulder, this is entry #10. Though the book lists this trail as being in the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, for all intents and purposes, this is in the Rocky Mountains. The entire park is west of the Legault Mountain Peak (9045ft). The drive here is a bit longer than places I would call "Foothills".
Meyer Ranch Park is worth the longer drive. This is a great place for a hot day. Most of the Lodge Loop Trail (that forms a full circuit at this park) is shaded under tall trees. The trail itself is very well maintained. The uphill portions aren't steep. Overall, Allie and I really enjoyed this location and will definitely consider coming back.
