You'll have to tell me when things thaw out up in your area a little more. I've got a spot of land at 11,500ft SE of Leadville. Last year, I could ALMOST make it on memorial day weekend. This year, I saw the pictures from Independence Pass and kind of figured there was no way in hell I was going to be able to get up there.
It's killing me, too! I *neeeeed* to get outside again!
