July 4th weekend we set out with the Rockefellers to conquer Pikes Peak. We packed up our gear and loaded Pace and Gracie into the backpacks and set off on the 13 mile journey that we planned to do over two days. The trail was absolutely beautiful and we had great weather. After about 6 hours (7 miles) we made it to camp where we refilled water and enjoyed a great home cooked meal by the wonderful hosts at Barr Camp. When Saturday morning arrived, however, the Walker clan decided we should go back down the mountain rather than trying for another 6-7 hours of uphill hiking. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our Independence day on America's Mountain. We think next time we try to conquer Pikes Peak and all of is 14.000 feet that we will leave Pace with a babysitter!
David and Bethany met in the Fall of 2005. A blue eyed boy met a brown eyed girl and they feel madly in love. They were married in December 2006 and welcomed their first baby in August 2008. Another blue eyed boy! In April 2010 we welcomed a blue eyed baby girl!
