If you don't feed the stray dog, it'll go away.

Without stories like this one it sure would be yawnsville around here.

I think the super smart mines kids will continue their hot tub hijinx and eventually get it working on the summit. I just hope they try again soon, snow up there must be melting pretty quick and I don't wanna wait til next season to laugh more about it.

I imagine when they are successful it will go something like this:

When it does happen, let us know. I'm so in!

If you actually listen to their story they didn't even call me and ask if they could air it...it was NOT solar powered and the "Colorado school of mine" had absolutely nothing to do with it. One last thing. This tub WILL BE on the top of a 14er...and I don't care what anyone says about it! You all have a wonderful day!!! I'm out!

Have to say that I'm surprised that it was Fox with the "real story".

I didn't catch the 9news spot on TV, but can't imagine how they got it "wrong" after viewing the report of this story on the 9news website.

It contains a video supplied by none other than MountainFever herself documenting it all and the written report seemed accurate as well.

I gotta say I have to agree with some of the sentiments expressed by Chicage Transplant. I did Lincoln from Kite Lake two days prior to the hot tub date and glad I didn't return back at the trailhead to the commotion.

Having said that, if a repeat performance is in the works, I offer the following design for MoutainFever's consideration (the status of patent protection is unknown, but I'm pretty sure the picture was taken on the summit of Pike's Peak): :D

This conversation reminds me of a psych class I took in college. After everyone crammed theories and modes of thinking, the prof came in the morning of the test and wrote on the board one question. "Why?" He didnt say anything. Just wrote it on the board and left. Befuddled students, myself included, opened our blue book and began spewing all sorts of psych answers and so forth. When it was all said and done, only one guy got an "A". He answered the question "Why?" by simply writing a question in response: "Why not?"

That must have been a huge class, since I've heard that story a few dozen times.

All of us grad students used to hang out together at the UMC.

I only have one objection in this whole affair, and that's with allowing yourself to be filmed drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon on purpose.

The humanity.
