      I'm 96 years old and can't walk either. Hopefully soon I'll be walking again. Just as soon as get my fines paid off from my 7th DUI I'll have some money for a foot doctor. After my feet get fixed I'll be walking all over my great grand daughters farm in Kentucky. She has 2 goat farms and a new car. We had lunch at this church a few years ago after her dad's birthday. Can't wait for next year's Superbowl. Have a great thanksgiving.

    Love the first of (hopefully) many Colorado episodes. You can tell when Robby and Thomas hike (e.g., Mount Katahdin), they push their own limit covering the distance while filming a quality video.

      The Mount Katahdin episode is one of my favorites. That ridge they had to traverse... what a place!

  • @LMay64
    @LMay64 Рік тому +58

    Yes, those are moose droppings. Oh, and the "Lost Creek Wilderness" was named for when the creek goes into the caves and into the ground and disappears for a while. I live pretty close to that area and love the trail. It's truly unique. They call the area up around Bison Peak the playground of the giants because of the huge rock and boulder formations.

    Just wanted to let you guys know...I've been watching your videos for the past few winters while I'm exercising inside. You inspired me to do some backpacking. The past 2 Christmases I've been using Christmas money to buy backpacking gear. Finally this weekend a friend and I hiked on the Buckeye Trail at Tappan lake and camped in the woods. It was 25 degrees that night, but we were both well-equipped and survived. We had a great time! Thanks for the inspiration gentlemen!

  • @sixtynine2856
    @sixtynine2856 Рік тому +32

    This hike was AMAZING. Having Robby and Thomas pushed to their limit (and persevering) in contrast to the myriad of beauty (might be my favorite too) that Robby emphasized throughout was gratifying. I commend the both of you. The only drawback was the absense of the full crew.

  • @WannaKamaka

      Would be nice if she was off leash a bit more (especially on the grassy boulder field) . Dogs need that freedom, it's good for their mental health. (provided they're well trained with their recall)

    This is my favorite episode so far. I also discovered by accident that the music in this episode is an excellent cadence for a chill treadmill walk, and many of the shots feel like you're walking along with the guys.

  • @andreabritz4572
    @andreabritz4572 Рік тому +4

    Lost Creek Wilderness is my favorite. It doesn't have high peaks but a special beauty of its own. I mainly stayed on the Wigwam Trail as I couldn't cover the loop on just my days off. Plus my dog wouldn't swim and crossing the lakes the beavers created, so that was a problem. I loved being there again through you. Thanks for sharing this trip.

  • @terizumbusch8408

    I'm out camping in the wilderness beside a stream in my camper Van. And so I watched this episode again for the second time. It is really a great episode, and those rocks, I think you're right, someone must have designed it because some of those places were just incredible. Thank you for paying the price to make the hike and make the video. Blessings

    Congratulations gentlemen. Job well done. And Miss Sierra.
    Coming from the California northern Sierras. I understand your struggle and pain.
    You did an outstanding job.
    And videography was fantastic.
    20 years ago when I was hiking, I always wanted to film my hikes. Who knew??
    Now I’m 67/68, don’t know if I can go that far in one day now. I can still do 8.
    But I don’t get out as much as I’d like to because I work part time now.
    This is my first time watching you, and I’m so glad I came across your video.
    I look forward to more adventures and I will share with my hiking buddy.
    And when He was done, He said, “ It was good.”

    I did the hike to Bison Peak like 10 years ago and it was no joke! Its just a steady incline the whole way up! The monoliths at the top were soooo cool though, their scale was deceiving, I am glad you explored them. Fun fact, this hike took so much longer than I thought it would so I missed work and got suspended lol. The experience was worth it though!

  • @BrianYamagata

  • @JohndaCantrell
    @JohndaCantrell Рік тому +7

    That was an amazing adventure! Adventure Archives never disappoint! I gotta say, I was worried about Robbie and altitude sickness. He should've stayed at a lower elevation for at least one night. I'm a flatlander, I live at 600 feet. Previous trips to Colorado and Wyoming made me realize how a big change in altitude affected you. It's no joke, especially if you're backpacking into a remote area.

  • @michaelmccormick4522

It's a "beefstew downhill high!" Thank you for sharing another wonderful adventure.

    What a totally beautiful section in Colorado. A little bit Enchanted Rock “esk”. Although a challenging terrain also mentally rewarding The kind of hike you have memories that make you smile. Sierra is a excellent companion

    Beautiful trip! Thanks for bringing us along on the rollercoaster of emotions. Sometimes those moments are lacking from other channels (whether for time or vibes), so it's refreshing to see every human (and doggo!) experience on the trail.
    My crew and I have been through more demoralizing trips than "perfect" ones, and it's always lovely to see how we each respond to the situation. We've learned to read each other and understand how to help each other through the lows. And Thomas is right - after the trip is done and the muscles aren't as sore and the blisters are calloused over, you'll look back and remember all the great parts - and be able to inject humor in the less than great parts.
    And now I have to go watch the Flea Market Montgomery commercial, so thanks for that.

    Lost Creek Wilderness is my favorite place on the whole planet. Well, that I've seen anyway as there is a whole lot of this planet I haven't seen. Your video really did it justice, at least as much as it is possible for a video to do it justice.
    Another great backpacking (or very long day hike) loop is to start at the Goose Creek trailhead and take Hankins Pass, Lake Park, a couple miles of the Brookside McCurdy, McCurdy Park and Goose Creek trails. The McCurdy Park Trail portion duplicates the hike in this video. It's a bit shorter than the north loop that you did, but goes through more truly spectacular terrain. It can be done in either direction. The clockwise direction I outlined puts the biggest climb at the start. The Lake Park trail is mostly on or close to the crest of the Tarryall Range, a bit lower elevation than the stretch you did. It's (IIRC) about 23 miles total, with lots of elevation change. The low point, near the Goose Creek Trailhead is about 8,000 feet, the highest point, along the Lake Park Trail is about 11,600 feet. Spectacular rock formations are visible throughout the loop, and Harmonica Arch is visible from the Goose Creek Trail near the trailhead.

    Great job not only in filming but making the amazing pack trip. Was worried about Thomas's new boots giving him blisters. Robby, you owe TS big time for packing those "gummi bears". They seem to be a great morale lifter. I think the music took some interesting twists, thought I heard some Andean influence, plus the Chinese and some jazz in the mix. Nature can be a challenge but its beauty is such a reward and seeing the parking lot is pure joy. Thank you guys!

      @@zhc2200 Guess you'd have to ask them. I only put gummi bears in quotes as I wasn't sure if they weren't some other type/ brand of gummy bear like candies. I wasn't even thinking about cannabis edibles. It just seems like Thomas brings treats that raise moral when they get tired.

    Another hike I am doing in the future is the Barr Trail to Pikes peak summit. I will be spending a night at Barr camp and then going to the summit and then taking the shuttle down afterwards. I have also done the incline in Manitou springs back in 2017 at age 55. That was by far the hardest hike EVER! Over 2200 ft of elevation gain in about a mile. You hit areas at the top over 68% grade! But checked off my bucket list! Did that after hiking area around Colorado Springs (Garden of the Gods during 2 days). We went to the incline after hiking the 2nd day there.
