Welcome

Formerly titled "The Traveling Job Coach" and then "The Traveling Athletic Director," this blog is
for me and my memory because it's not very good.
My memory is not very good. See what I mean?

This blog has also morphed into a place for me to share my thoughts on life and how I see the world.
These thoughts often bubble to the surface during my travels.

I don't concern myself with grammar. This is simply a place for me to record my memories,
thoughts and feelings while I travel.

I started this blog before my trip to Europe July 10-24, 2009. Email me at brosefield@gmail.com
whilst I'm traveling or comment on posts here if you see something that
strikes your fancy.

Yes, I used the words whilst and fancy in the same paragraph.

Mt. Evans

Just when I thought the scenery and amazing drives couldn’t get any better, I go and visit Mt. Evans today and dude.  Seriously.  Absolutely incredible.  I feel like I use that word a lot but I don’t care.

Mt. Evans is worth the trip.  It’s about a 14 mile drive up a treacherous road with switchbacks and no guardrails but it’s worth it.  The mountain tops out at 14,285 feet so I conquered my first 14er!  Let me tell you, oxygen deprivation is real!   And you know what?  I didn't "climb" it.  I drove it.  And I'm totally ok with that.  Maybe one day I can actually climb a 14er.  Fun fact:  The road to Mt. Evans is the highest paved road in North America.

Check out the video I made from today’s experience here:  https://youtu.be/pQ9H5zQanOw

Here are a few photos from the ride up and from the top:
