Teri Pitman new PR 30:34 from first tie, new strategy run the first part, steady through the middle hammer after false summit, seemed to work!

i am against timing myself. my life is too full of goals already. but i did notice both rose hips and wild strawberries beside the trail. it was a beautiful climb after the storm yesterday.

Interesting... I saw a black bear at the Barr Trail Head at the beginning of the month.

i'd hate if the bear i saw was put down. he was a beautiful animal. i saw him about 8 pm thursday evening, so he was still around then . . .

The Incline overview document says, "Coincidentally, the USFS Barr Trail, also crosses Cog
property. USFS has a trail easement through the property that protects the Cog from liability."

I believe that the Barr Trail is wholly within the Pike National Forest. The trailhead parking lot is owned by CS Utilities.

Debbie, thanks for the link and comment. I think people in this community realize that there are better solutions than those presented by The Gazette. After attending the workshop last night, I can see that people sincerely want to work together to find an Incline solution that benefits all. Your insight as a member of Search and Rescue is invaluable. Thanks for posting.

Check out this Gazette "opinion" article... http://www.gazette.com/opinion/incline-100603-monday-hiker.html. Interestingly, most of our SAR missions actually involve the Barr Trail, with only a few on the Incline. Does anyone know the exact ownership of the Barr Trail, is it similar to the Incline in how it is parceled? Also, parking will continue to be an issue, Incline or no Incline, because of the Barr Trail.

And there are reports of a Manitou Springs bear that was put down by the Division of Wildlife on Thursday. Apparently the bear broke into an apartment through a window and raided the fridge.
