Colorado Back-Country Hut Adventure: High Lonesome Hut
Looking for an out-of-the ordinary adventure? Bored with ho-hum ski resorts or hiking worn out mountain trails? High Lonesome Hut, located off highway 40, one hour from Denver, is an affordable adventure at its best. The Hut is a year round playground. The 1,000 sq. ft. timber framed cabin is nestled in a pristine glade in the Arapaho National Forest. In the winter, visitors cross country ski 2.5 miles on moderate terrain to the cabin. Mountain bikes replace skis in the spring and summer. The Hut offers all the amenities from solar sourced electricity to flush toilet. There's plenty of room to sleep large families or groups and pets are always welcome at High Lonesome. Contact Andy Miller at or give him a call at 970-726-4099.

Colorado Roadside Challenge : Road Side Attractions & Junk Food
ROAD TRIP FOOD CHALLENGE
Rating the Bites and the Sites
All epic road trips have a few things in common. They require driving … somewhere … that usually takes hours, if not days, to reach. Even so, there’s often no definitive destination. They truly are more about the journey than the final destination.
They also require a “come what may” attitude. If you’re heads-down, get-from-point-A-to-point-B without stopping – that’s not a road trip. You and your companions must be willing to stop and smell the flowers and taste the unusual foods and appreciate the unusual – even bizarre -- sights and sites along the way.
All of these are at the very core of the 50 Campfires Road Trip Food Challenge in which Nick and Clint rate the bites and the sites along life’s highway.
Here’s the challenge: Nick or Clint walks into a roadside convenience store, an on-the-way farmer’s market, or and out-of-the-way grocery and selects a regional road foo that neither of them have tried before. The “delicacy” is supposed to cost no more than two American dollars, but that sometimes gets stretched when something really interesting catches the eye and sets the anticipatory taste buds on edge.
The food item goes into the cooler (or cures in the heat under the seat of the truck) until they come to an interest-grabbing roadside site or piece of memorabilia. It could be the Sasquatch Outpost, a scrap iron accordion player, a mini-Statue of Liberty placed by the Boy Scouts, or a diminutive movie set. They stop, break out the road food, and make an on the spot taste test.
Careful consideration and highly-honed taste buds join forces in allowing them to rate the bite … and the site.
After all, the 50 Campfires Field Trips are all about collecting unique experiences, and how many people can honestly say, “I was nervous the first time I tried elk jerky because I felt the eerie presence of Sasquatch looking over my shoulder?
Join the Boys in Colorado as they continue the 50 Campfires Road Trip Food Challenge to rate the bites and the sites.
Tiny Town in Morrison, Colorado
Tiny Town -- Big Attraction Since 1920
On the location of the Denver-Leadville Stage Coach Station, George Turner began building “Turnerville” to entertain his young daughter. That was in 1915. By 1920, it was large enough to open to the public, and by 1924 it included 125 buildings with a grocery store, barber shop, two lakes, pool room, hotel, school, and church. As many as 20,000 people a year made the treacherous drive to visit the site!
Over the course of the years, “Turnerville” changed its name to “Tiny Town.” It has faced both flood and fire and rerouting of its artery highway. It has seen boom and bust several times, but has always been fortunate to find benefactors to refurbish and rebuild. In 1991 more than 100,000 people visited the park.
Today, Tiny Town is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day each year and features train rides, picnics, family events, birthday parties, and much more.
You can check out their website at: tinytownrailroad.com.

A WINTER Run on New York Trails
February motivation: Find something that fills your life with passion and that brings out the best in yourself and others.
Several of us from the MPF Adventure Club met for a trail run in Harriman State Park, New York. We caught up with MPF athlete Emmanuel, who in 2018 completed the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning + 1 which includes running 5 of America’s oldest 100 mile foot races in the span of 4 months.
Old Dominion 100
Vermont 100
Western States 100
Leadville 100
Wasatch 100
We picked Emmanuel up at a nearby train station, he lives in the big apple (NYC). We then met everyone at Reeves Meadow Visitor Center in HSP. It was a beautiful winter morning, with plenty of snow and ice to run on. We used microspikes and Yaktrax’s for traction. Jay used his light and quick feet to stay upright, oh and he was also in the grippy Salomon Sense Pro 3’s.
Joe also discusses training with good friend Harry Hamilton. Harry has completed many epic ultra running races throughout the country and has transitioned into cycling over the last couple of years. He his coming off another big season of Cross and is slowly getting back on his feet again.

Places to see in ( Park City - USA )
Places to see in ( Park City - USA )
Park City lies east of Salt Lake City in the western state of Utah. Framed by the craggy Wasatch Range, it’s bordered by the Deer Valley Resort and the huge Park City Mountain Resort, both known for their ski slopes. Utah Olympic Park, to the north, hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics and is now predominantly a training facility. In town, Main Street is lined with buildings built during a 19th-century silver mining boom.
Park City is a wonderful place to visit throughout the year with fabulous dining and recreation options. Long before Park City became a world class mountain resort and venue for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, it was famous as a silver mining town, and boasts a lively and colorful past. Founded by prospectors in the late 1860's, Park City continued to mine silver until the early 1970's.
From approximately 1850, when small settlements were forming, until the railroad lines were laid throughout the West in the 1890s, stagecoach travel was the main form of transportation. There was even a stagecoach business in Park City! William Kimball, a Park City resident, started his stagecoach business in 1858 competing with Brigham Young for United States mail contracts. He was sent to England on a Mormon Church mission and when he returned, he started the Park City-Salt Lake City Route. The Kimball Brothers Stage Line operated from 1872 until 1890, when the railroad made its way into the West. Moving quicker as well as transporting more people and mail, the railroad easily put the stagecoach out of business.
Between 1880 and 1920 when Park City mines were the most organized, productive and active, they produced more than 20 million tons of ore including lead, zinc, copper, silver, and a small amount of gold. These were the years of Park City's mining renaissance. The mining company, Park City Consolidated Mines, started the ski business in 1963, when they built the first lifts on what was then called Treasure Mountain. The Park City area now has three world class resorts: Park City Mountain Resort, Deer Valley Resort, and the Canyons Resort.
Park City has a year-round free city-wide transit system. The bus routes connects Historic Main Street, Kimball Junction, Prospector, Deer Valley, Park City Mountain Resort and Canyons Village. Traveling with skis or snowboards on public transit is not a problem. Parking at the resorts is free; however, the lots fill up early in the morning. On the weekends, patrons of Park City Mountain can park at the Park City High School on Kearns Blvd and take the complimentary resort shuttle to the Park City Base Area. The majority of parking in the Historic Main Street area is paid.
