Nice creativity with the poem (I had no idea you had that in you Mike!); and the pictures of your journey together are pretty damn cool too!
Congratulations Mike and Dani!

I love the creative poses and varied shots you chose to illustrate your 14er journey. You really captured the essence of each unique experience.

I've always thought about doing something similar and creating a sort of coffee table book with iPhoto, but I think I'd be hard pressed to come up with as interesting a gallery as you've put together. Nice work!

I really tried hard to pick a favorite pic but couldn't. Think the Mt Eolus and Crestone Needle pics have the edge IMHO though. Congrats and I know there are a lot of memories summed up these two posts.

and congratulations! Having lived through something similar, that static photo brings back a scary memory. Love the creative report, a flip card movie of your experience. Very cool.

...for your comments.

#29 was static. It was snowing, but the electricity in the air had Dani's hair straight up and her earings buzzing.

Maybe the mystery 59 is North Massive. I might have to add a picture of that one.
