Saturday's trip to the Timp was full of nostalgia and new history for me. It hearkened all the way back to trip 12--"The Rattlesnake Trip." Our route up T-T and the Dundenburg Spiral Railway followed the route of that early trip so many years ago--this was the first trip in that area of the park since then.
Trip 97 started off in much the same way 12 did--being unable to locate the trailhead! We wandered around this time for almost 1/2 mile on the unmarked trails and railway grade before finding T-T to our south. Also like trip 12, this trip took much longer than expected. It took about 3 hours to cover the 3.1 miles to the Timp. It was a little rainy to start but the precipitation gave way to mere fog and by the time we arrived at the summit it wasn't a half-bad day.
Of course the highlight for me was finally proposing to Lori! It was quite tough to keep it all a secret until the last minute. Thanks to Getti and Andrew for all the help organizing it and thanks to Lori for making me the happiest Harrimaniac ever!
