AM - quite cold run with Rob the local historian and tour guide.  Took me to the town of Midway and we ran out to Soldiers Hollow and back.  7.5 miles.  Good run. Adjusting better to the altitude.  Thanks for the conversation and the local flavor Rob.  Best way to see a place is by going out for a run.  Even better to do it with old friends.

That area is home to Hollywood's most famous bear, which I just learned about 3 minutes ago:

Nice visual, Bret - was trying to imagine what a porch sheep was from Rob's post - I see now. And is that second pic Superman's fortress of solitude? Nice.

They charge 8 bucks to go inside that ice castle. Its like a really cold corn maze!
