Hmm.. for some reason, I can't resolve www.lowdin.nu at the moment.

FYI, I just posted some pictures from riding the Kenosha Pass-Georgia Pass
section of the Colorado Trail during peak fall Aspen season:

http: // www . thewildes . com/play/bikes/KenoshaPass03/KenoshaPass.jsp

I've also got pictures of riding in Fruita, Co, about 2 weeks later:

http: // www . thewildes . com/play/bikes/Fruita03/Fruita.jsp

There also older pix of rides in Moab, local front range trails like
Hall and Heil Ranch, etc, in my general cycling section:

(remove spaces from all of the above)

Enjoy!

There has been more than a hundred visits today to the domain. Perhaps if
you try later.

Looks like a great ride: all those autumn colours.

Splendid pictures, would like to go to Moab sometime, but when we were in
the US in July and August it was blistering hot and pointless when we could
ride in places such as Frisco, Salida, Crested Butte, and Durango.

By the way why do you put spaces in the addresses? Do you mind that anyone
can see them? Or?

Yes, I got in a subsequent try - nice, informative site. It's always
interesting to see how visitors perceive your home and its inhabitants.

FYI, the reason Coloradans "love rain" (and you'll find this attitude
predominant in the southwest and the arid mountain west), is as you
surmised, we get so little of it. Fire is a natural part of the ecology
out here, and is a constant threat during dry periods. Just last night
a wildfire broke out in LeftHand Canyon northwest of Boulder, and 5000
acres burned before some well timed snow helped get it under control.
Water literally brings life and safety to the west.. so most of the time,
we're happy when it falls from the sky for free. Of course, if it rains for
more than a couple of days in a row we get sick of it, and start grousing
like everyone else

Moab is definitely not the place to go in the summer.. unless you like
heat stroke. In the spring and fall though when the snow's still in
the high country it's a great place to get some riding in.

By the way why do you put spaces in the addresses? Do you mind that anyone
can see them? Or?


My apologies - being overly paranoid, I guess. I used to read and post
frequently to Usenet back in the ancient history, pre-WWW days. Now with
all the spam and 'net viruses floating around, I didn't want to subject
myself to uneccessary attention - didn't know if posting an unobscured
web address invites as many attacks as posting an unobscured e-mail address.

predominant in the southwest and the arid mountain west), is as you

And this "love" of rain is based mostly on having been in drought for
the last few years. In "normal" years we get a late summer monsoon that
brings plenty of moisture on a near daily basis (isolated, scattered
thunder storms). Spring storms with feet of wet snow "used to" bring
LOTS of moisture to the state (and will hopefully return next year).
Those have all but disappeared in the last few years and we are in
serious, long term drought. It is really getting old to be able to play
golf on Christmas day in shorts. Great cycling weather, though.

Fire is a natural part of the ecology
out here, and is a constant threat during dry periods. Just last night
a wildfire broke out in LeftHand Canyon northwest of Boulder, and 5000
acres burned before some well timed snow helped get it under control.

Dry tinder, 50 - 80 mile an hour winds, a downed power line and:

And luckily, a cold front rolled in last night with moisture. Still, it
sounds like that fire is still 0% contained.

You can't hide a website. That has to be public information so that
domain name servers can find your site. Do a lookup of your domain name
sometime. That's all public record. I don't post my clients' web
addresses on the Internet, but the script kiddies still come poking
around every few days - usually looking for a formail script they can
shanghai for sending spam. They don't need to harvest web addresses.
They are public record. Obscuring your web address in a post only makes
it more difficult for others to view the page.

Tip: The best way to attract spam is to put your email address on your
web site (with a mailto link). Email address harvesting bots scan the
net for just such things. The best method is to use a form for contacts.
(There is also a javascript, obfuscation solution that seems to work
very well.)
