1. Oj mixed into some water with a shake of lite salt that has potassium
will probably help a little. Get hydrated and make sure that potassium, magnesium, calcium gets into your system. Will help the muscles some and keep your heart happy.

nice views from up there?

2. Sweet views of Pikes Peak.
The friends I went with are pretty experienced at this sort of thing. I'm well hydrated.

5. Nice!!
I live near the Adirondack's (New York State). They're nowhere near as good as the Rockies, but they're still awesome. I've never done anything like that, though. I can't wait until I do. Good job! :thumbsup:

And here's to the outdoors! :toast:
