The Manitou Incline!
Wow - now that's a hike! One mile in length, gaining 2100 feet of elevation! The Manitou Incline used to be a train line, but the tracks are now gone, leaving about 5,000 railroad ties to hike up!
Anyway, a group of 13 of us (including Caleb and Anna!) met at 5:30am to begin the assault. Anna and Dad made it about 3/4ths of the way up before bailing out on a shortcut to the trail. Everyone else made it! The record time that I heard was 40 minutes, set by Eric Gaston. (Hhhmmm – when my broken toe gets better I am going to have to challenge that record!)
Great fun, good exercise, God’s mountainside!!!

John - Thanks for the encouragement!! We would love to have you guys visit! Anytime. I would enjoy taking you up the incline. It's so worth it when you are one top.
I think that you have had more jobs than anyone I know!! But I am sure you are having fun with the teaching, and the soccer.
All the time!
