Denise:
Thanks for sending the account of your recent climb..just glad it ws you
and not me! First a question, then a suggestion. I take it you are at an Air
Force Base in Colorado...which one? I grew up out there.
Now my suggestion. In the late 1800s an English lady (yes, a "Lady" and
not just "female.") must have been bored with life at home. After all, a
gentlewoman in those days could probably only 'work' as a missionary if she
wanted to escape social restrictions and a life of bearing children and
overseeing servants. Well, Isabella L. Bird said she had poor health and
travelled to help her 'condition.' She went to India, Persia, etc. In 1873 she
was in Colorado and now we have her diary published as "A Lady's Life in the
Rocky Mountains", published by the Univ. of Oklahoma Press. She was quite a
gal, climbed Long's Peak, survived the severe winter, and with it all kept a
great record. It is a small book and I think you'd like it. Also, I'd like to
know what you thought of her and it.
