Comments or Questions

goingup	I think I can like this 10/28/2015 7:08am Only because the dog is cool. Not because you are cool.
Dave B	Good looking dog 10/28/2015 7:08am Taj has it pretty lucky to go screaming around the mountains with Dillon on his days off!
Jay521	You had me at dog... 10/28/2015 8:51pm In my next life, I want to come back as Taj. Crazy part is, I’d probably get to more summits than I have as a human! Nice report, Dillon!
SnowAlien	Wemipalooza 10/28/2015 9:54am with snow. Man, that’s too cool. Now, where are my skis??? p.s. Food looks good too. Yum.
Rainier_Wolfcastle	I’m jealous! 10/28/2015 2:16pm I did not know it was an option to hike with Taj but without Jason, I’m jealous! Thanks for sharing!
jmanner	Bro! 10/28/2015 2:32pm #lookatyourself Thanks for the write up Dillion!! Good read, as always!
MtnHub	Only one bowl of chili? 10/28/2015 2:36pm Must not have been much of a hike. At least not like the Mummy–Killer. Nice job though! Good looking partner!
jblyth	Thanks, buddy! 10/29/2015 12:02am Taj won’t stop talking about his epic day in the wemi with crazy uncle Dillon. He’s ruined for all the front range junk I bring him on.
blazintoes	Uh huh 10/28/2015 8:37pm So what does Taj do on his day On?
dillonsarnelli	taj is a beast 10/29/2015 8:56am K - Oh snap! Did I not like enough of your pics on Instagaper today? haha jk!! - Lets get out after Turkey, maybe ?!?! Dave - GG traverse loop, start training buddy, but go easy on those anniversary climbs! I hear they can be pretty dangerous. haha - see you in the Park! Jay - Thanks! A bit of caution, Taj is pretty smelly. You might also want to pick a less hairy dog to come back as. He does get the ladies though. Natalie - Doesn’t get much better than Wemipalooza with snow. Rock climbing in Grand Junction or skiing powder in The San Juany’s in October? Who are you and what have you done with Natalie? Oh and that’s the best post-anything chile there is right there. Shawn - haha. Take care of Taj’s dad on Aconcagua man. He’s dangerous. John - #bro ####the quadrahash?!?! oh man! Doug – Thanks! Easy peasy and the Mummy Kill was pretty BA if I do say so myself. That bowl of chile from Pagosa Brewing comes highly recommended. They also have a new White Out IPA. JB - That Taj, he’s one hell of a talker! Thanks for letting him come out and play buddy. When we pulled over on 285, he made a B line for Little Bear. What is the Front Range? Amy - good question. I think he might be CIA. He has no thumbs so anything with a keyboard was automatically ruled out at birth. He’s also not the brightest animal, so he might run for President.
FireOnTheMountain	snow! 10/29/2015 10:00am looks like the two of you had a good time. what a wise looking dog.
Mtnman200	Nice report 10/31/2015 5:37pm So what kind of dog is Taj? Golden retriever?
dillonsarnelli	@ Ali & Eddie 11/3/2015 11:09am thanks fellers. Ali – good time indeed! wise looking with looking being the keyword. Eddie – yep! mostly golden. might be part rabbit too. Hope all is going well!
Steve Climber	TAAAAJJJJ!!!! 11/3/2015 3:45pm oh hey, Dillon.
