Goodbye Red River Gorge
Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2008 10:49 am
Some of you on here know me and my family, for those of you that don’t I apologize for the poetic waxing you’re about to be subject to:
I am very happy to announce that the Country family (Big, Fondu, Little and Littlest) will be moving beyond the western horizon to a land of greater relief.
I have accepted a job in Golden, Colorado and will be moving sometime in February. I have not been climbing in quite awhile. In fact, despite my close proximity to the Red River Gorge I have not even driven through in quite awhile.
I will miss this area, not because I am a climber, but because it has been my home all my life. I will miss some of the people I have known in the context of climbing in the RRRG, even though I haven’t seen most of you in some time. I have kept up with events as a lurker for a long time and I will most likely continue to do so. And I am sure that I will be in to visit my family from time to time so I might see you around the Red.
I am also extending and open invitation to any of my old friends who might be traveling toward or through the Front Range to get in touch with me and maybe we can hook up out there.
But my time as a RRG local has come to an end. I think I might give Big Country one final hurrah before I become a Colorado climber. Anyone free one day next week?
