Humboldt Peak - Colorado 14er Dayhike
Humboldt Peak, elevation 14,070 ft, is a summit in the Sangre de Cristo Range of southern Colorado. The peak is in the San Isabel National Forest southwest of Westcliffe, CO. It is within the Crestone group of fourteeners, which include Crestone Peak, Crestone Needle, and Kit Carson Peak.
The mountain was named by German immigrants in honor of Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859), eminent German geographer, explorer, and mountaineer. In February 1870, Carl Wulsten, a Prussian immigrant and former Civil War general, led a band of German immigrants from Chicago, IL, to the Wet Mountain Valley (east of Humboldt Peak), where they established the first cooperative community in Colorado.
ARCHERY ELK HUNT | LATE SEASON UTAH
This was the last day of the extended archery elk hunt in Utah. I didn't get much of a chance to hunt the late season this year, but I wanted to give it one last effort. With a lot of snow it had many of the elk moving and I turn up two giant bulls!

Had my friend's iPhone tracking the speed. Managed to top 70mph. Hahaha. I tried to show it to the camera at the end, but didn't quite come out. You'll have to trust me on this one.
Civilian Conservation Corps
The Civilian Conservation Corps was a public work relief program that operated from 1933 to 1942 in the United States for unemployed, unmarried men from relief families as part of the New Deal. Originally for young men ages 18–23, it was eventually expanded to young men ages 17–28. Robert Fechner was the head of the agency. It was a major part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal that provided unskilled manual labor jobs related to the conservation and development of natural resources in rural lands owned by federal, state and local governments. The CCC was designed to provide jobs for young men, to relieve families who had difficulty finding jobs during the Great Depression in the United States while at the same time implementing a general natural resource conservation program in every state and territory. Maximum enrollment at any one time was 300,000; in nine years 3 million young men participated in the CCC, which provided them with shelter, clothing, and food, together with a small wage of $30 a month.
The American public made the CCC the most popular of all the New Deal programs. Principal benefits of an individual's enrollment in the CCC included improved physical condition, heightened morale, and increased employability. Implicitly, the CCC also led to a greater public awareness and appreciation of the outdoors and the nation's natural resources; and the continued need for a carefully planned, comprehensive national program for the protection and development of natural resources.
