Re: My 14er record attempt
Lately the Spot has been working really well on the uphills and turns off going down only to reappear at the TH. Maybe he is turning it off going down to save batteries?

Re: My 14er record attempt
How much does a SPOT weigh?
Someone should have been muling it for him. That wouldn't violate cave dog rules!

That valley/canyon coming out of Denny Creek must be hard for reception/transmission as there were no points going up either.ajkagy wrote:

Re: My 14er record attempt
That last Blog post was an emotional read. John's body has to be screaming at him to stop this madness. No gold medal at the end. No huge contract to be offered. No cable tv show. What makes people like John go on when 99.9 % of the people in the world would quit and never think twice about it. I will probably never meet you or any of your support staff but I don't think I will ever forget this. But for those few days in August 2012 when everything that is right about the world and an unmatched human spirit was on display in the Colorado Rockies. Soldier on my "friend"
