Raspberry Mountain 7/10/14

Steady but moderate climb mostly on old road to summit Raspberry Mountain near the Crags, about 6 miles round trip (105 runtotal). 360 views including Pikes Peak, Crags, Sentinel Point, Catamount Reservoir, Tarryalls, and more from the summit.

I put camera on high zoom to see if I'd be able to see people at the Crags and yes, there they are!

Suhoor Skies 7/9/14

My camera can do 15, 30 and 60 second exposures.  I tried 60 before but you start to pick up star motion a bit too motion due to Earth's rotation.  These are two 30 and two 15 second exposures around 3:45ish a.m. from my backyard.  There is some ambient light from house lights, etc.

Dawson Butte Open Space 7-3-14

About 5 miles - runtotal 99.  More of a walk than a hike; potentially a place to keep in mind for snowshoeing.  Popular with horseback riders.
