Howdy folks, many miles hiked, a lot vertical gain, very little or no sleep. Hiked my first fourteener for this year and camped at my highest altitude ever, you have to see the caption for the last picture to find out where.

Wonderful captures Jody! I especially like #1 and #5

#2 is very nice. Ah, the memories of climbing these peaks... Harvard in some heavy wind and snow with almost zero visiblilty, and Missouri and Belford just before a thunderstorm hit. I only had time to touch the summit of Belford and RUN down as all hell broke loose... young and stupid. Very nice collection.

Awesome collection of images Jody, the whole series tells a story!. I really like unnamed peak reflected in unnamed lake, and the shot looking at Missouri Mountain at twilight!.

Amazing, as always, Jody! I love the colors of the tundra with the dusting on the peaks. Good stuff.

This might just be your best cache of pics yet, Jody! WOW!!!

Excellent work, Jody! Love the photo of your tent at that high campsite.

Amazing series, Jody! I really like the first Harvard sunset shot and the Huron peak is fabulous. I love the clarity you've achieved, but FWIW there's a tad too much contrast for my tastes, course ill be in the minority for sure on that

Nice stuff, Jody. Good job controlling some harsh light. Thanks for the tent shot.

Very nice Jody. The snow and earthy tones in the tundra are perfect for the transition in seasons.

Man, you've cranked out some spectacular stuff this summer and these are no exception. Too many good shots to pic any particular favorites. I'll just take in the views of places I'll most likely never see!

Really enjoyed this show. My favs are the first Massive shot from the trail, the Harvard refections and the Huron shot. What a trip!
Posted by Jesse Speer on September 17, 2008 at 2:47 PM
Oh yeah, enjoy the show indeed. Please keep this up Jody!

Those are all BLOODY GOOD!

Very nice shots Jody. I can't believe you hadn't climbed a 14'er 'til now. We tried Belford 2 times...hubby had hamstring probs the first time and we got weathered off the next (even with an early start). Came back after the second to find our car had been broken into at the trailhead

wow, nice shots
Gee camping at 14,000 feet that must be something

Thanks for the comments, Pamela, I changed my wording a little, this was not my first fourteener just the first for this year..
Holy Cow Jody! You are for sure a madman! Excellent work, esp. the Harvard reflection and Oxford sunrise. Thanks for a great show that required no vertical feet and could be enjoyed with coffee in hand!
