I’m making final online updates from the Institute of Sociometry home office in Denver. Tomorrow Pete and I will set off on the most impulsive, unplanned distance hike I’ve ever done. Our loose objective is to step out from the IS home office doorstep and hike to the Mount of the Holy Cross wilderness to meet Ann and my dad. The first day should be an interesting urban experience.

I haven’t picked out any particular route, much less estimated any hiking distances. I did get a nice stack of trail maps. As usual I’ll try to collect a GPS track, but have no GPS navigation tools. I plan to do some barefoot hiking, the rest in my vibram five fingers.

Contact Ann if you need an update, otherwise I’ll report back in a couple of weeks!
