Last night the 2006 Colorado Book Awards event was held in Denver. It is rumored that a fellow RMNPer was there in a tux to receive the award for best pictorial book of the year. Todd Caudle certainly deserves this award for his amazing 14,000 Feet: A Celebration of Colorado's Highest Mountains. Way to go Todd! :toast:

Contrary to rumors, I was NOT wearing a tux. I was using Tucks hemorrhoid pads. The event was cocktail attire. So I went as a martini. baDUMP-bump!

Thanks guys.

I don't believe it. The book winning - sure that's easy to believe, but Todd in a tux - now that is asking a bit much for us to believe.

Congratulations Todd.

I just saw this too. Congrats. Well deserved.

Congrats, Todd. I love the book and would also love viewing an image of you in a tux.

Very well deserved. The book is so well laid out and the inclusion of the past time images was such a wonderful idea.

A huge congratulations! It's a great book that I've purused many times. Well deserved.

I was going to see if we could solicite a photo of The Dude in his Tux but if it was Tucks, well I really know too much already :biggrin:

What a great deal. Congratulations, Todd.

Fantastico! Too bad we don't get those fine books here in Illinois! Maybe you can do a book on Illinois sea level landscapes! Congrats!

I won't believe this until I see the Tux (no pictures of the Tucks please). Ok, in the case that it's true, congrats. Honestly, this is a huge honor. You should be very proud of yourself Todd. :toast: :toast: :toast:

Todd...

While in Colorado recently for a fall colors shoot, I had the opportunity to check out this book in person. Outstanding work and congratulations on the award!

Keep up the good work...

Well, I guess I'd better dispell some ugly tux rumors once and for all. That would be me on the right, without so much as a tie on. No close-ups of the Tucks pads, though.

Again, thanks to everyone. I'll unleash a little more good news soon.
