Heh.....I was really interested in that after reading about it, but then found LOTOJA and got really interested in that. Then I realized that my tax return is pretty much blown this year, and can't afford to go to either, so maybe next year.

I don't exactly live in mountains either, but it's hilly enough around here to get a decent workout in....I think the other problem will be altitude. Going from sea level to 7,000 feet....you're gonna need to go out there a good 3-4 days in advance and acclimatize a bit first.
