At long last, the paver driveway has begun! And well, well you, you make all my dreams come true. Only 6950’ to go, and it might be hard to handle, but like a flame that burns the candle, the candle feeds the flame, yeah yeah, and you, you make all my dreams come true.  #paverdriveway #herringbonepattern by @cpakat

I had so much fun catching up with my sister and her husband❤️. There is never enough time but we managed to cram a lot in. And…we had two double rainbows in the backyard in one week! 🌈🌈#adventurepupgracie #happyhowiehoudini by @cpakat

Kat’s 7 of Nolan’s 14. Hard to squeeze 69 hours of activity into a 90 second reel, but after a few days rest, here it is. For every challenge in the mountains, I am always rewarded with a beauty I just can’t find elsewhere. This truly is my home. Thank you to my tremendous support crew for getting me through safely. First and foremost, @johnanratliff74 but also to @caroliiiiiine  @lorilorax1  @kimsgrinning  @merunfar  @lizzieki @chrisdtomer and @7kftco 

I’m working on my write-up, but all that detail takes a while, and, it’s the end of tax season so I’m also working to finish up a LOT of tax returns. Soon though… by @cpakat

CELINE’ing in the mountains with friends 
1,000,000/10 recommend 🥰

Considering I entered 2026 with 37 stitches in my left hand from surgery, & painstakingly working back from fracturing my left foot, I REALLY wasn’t sure what would be possible for me this year. 

August arrives with trepidation. I’ve broken bones two out of my last three Augusts. The month’s calamity list has earned its suspicion.

But the Rito Alto 4-Pass Loop has sat patiently on my adventure idea spreadsheet, waiting. Saturday was the day. Even the weather window agreed.

With five incredibles from our Salida run group, we embarked on 23 miles and 6,300 feet of gain through four passes of the Sangre mountains. The mountain terrain often runs golden brown by August. We found lush green tundra pushing up through dramatic diagonal rock striations, layers of the earth tilted sideways. I stopped to stare at it. 

And at the marmots. 

Each person here carries their own stories of physical feats & comebacks. We shrugged off the weight of those hard times & laughed our way (with some huffing & puffing… for me anyway) while the miles melted away.
 
Grateful to have the Sangres in my backyard. 
Grateful for these people who keep encouraging & inspiring me to expand my “possible.”

And I’m grateful for my body’s recovery - excessive scarring, fractures, & all. Carried me over the mountains and home.

It took two tries to find this line to the summit of Missouri Mountain via the East Ridge, but it is still not the most direct route off Mt Belford, so I’ll keep trying until I can find it. #nolans14 by @cpakat

Doing some scouting of one of the ridgeline traverses for Nolan’s 14 this past weekend. Loving this section now that I feel comfortable with the line (this section was difficult in my attempt two years ago). #Nolans14 by @cpakat
