I will be passing through Durango and am willing to pick up someone
who does not already have a ride.
With all my crap, I'll only have room for one, but a 2nd could cram
if necessary, it just won't be comfy.
And I'm not trying to be overly obnoxious, but I will be anxious to
get up to Silverton so I don't want to wait if you have a late
flight. I'll be going through around 7pm - if you're ready to go by
then, let's talk.
Hope everyone is doing well! :-)

I have been informed that there IS one retailer with internet access.
The name is Swanee's on Blair Street, and their number is 970-387-
5555 if you'd like to call for hours, prices, etc.

Hi everyone,
We trust that everyone is getting ready for their trek thru the San
Juans. I would like to call your attention to a few last minute
details/announcements.
If you would, please check the Hardrock Hundred home page about some
important news about course marking and internet policy while in Silverton.
Also, summer in Colorado means road construction. It won't be uncommon
to be stuck in road construction for up to 2 hours if you are planning on
coming to Silverton from Durango. If you are coming from Ouray, the wait is
considerably less but I would still budget some wait time on the roads. Do a
few stretches, give the map and runners manual one more look over and that
time will go by in no time.
The snow is melting very rapidly. The headline in the Durango paper
today is that the rivers and resevoirs are as full as they are going to get.
Fire danger is always a concern but as to date nothing has been said or
communicated to me.
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU MUST CHECK IN BY 11 A.M. ON THURSDAY OR LOSE
YOUR SPOT IN THIS YEARS RUN.
See you all in Silverton soon!

I'll be driving to/from Silverton, CO on July 6th (Tuesday) and returning on

Saturday June 26 looks like good weather for the Sunlight 50K. (I know
this is short notice, but I warned you). I will be camping at the
Purgatory campground on US550 (20 mi. S of Silverton CO) in a rented white
Grand Caravan with temp. tags (07/07/04) on Friday evening. We can discuss
preferred starting times then. The route is described at
http://mattmahoney.net/sunlight/ Bring an FRS radio if you have one and
set for channel 3.

Sunlight 50K: 1 starter, 0 finishers. The speed record still stands at
22:03.
Nobody else showed up at the Purgatory trailhead on Friday evening so I
went by myself. I climbed Windom under mostly sunny skies, but turned back
on Sunlight about 50 ft below the summit in a snowstorm. I did not attempt
Eolus. My splits were:
12:41 AM, Purgatory TH, 8800 ft.
2:12 AM, Animas river, 4.6 mi, 7700 ft.
4:00 AM, Needle Creek TH, 11.3 mi, 8300 ft.
6:20 AM, Top of Chicago Basin, 15 mi, about 11,000 ft.
9:14 AM, Windom, 16-17 mi, 14087 ft.
11:10 AM, below Sunlight, 17-18 mi, about 14,000 ft.
1:00 PM, Chicago Basin
2:24 PM, Needle Creek TH
6:19 PM, return to Purgatory, about 32-34 miles.
The route is described at http://mattmahoney.net/sunlight/
It was in the 40's and partly cloudy at the start with no moon. The first
15 miles of trail was easy, but skirted within inches of some 300 ft.
cliffs where I could point my flashlight down and see treetops. The nest
1/2 mile climbed 1000 ft to Twin Lakes at about 12,000 ft. There are many
side trails that dead end, one of which I took by mistake, so I bushwacked
up through willows and occasional class 3 slabs to the right of the
waterfall. The lakes were frozen and the basin was filled with hard packed
snow. Since I was closest to Windom, I climbed it first. This was a 30
degree snow climb, which I could walk up without an ice axe in my Walsh
fell running shoes even though the snow was frozen solid. The final ridge
to the summit was mostly dry class 3 scrambling over huge boulders with
occasional patches of ice and exposed snow.
I descended to the high basin across snow and traversed left up the mostly
dry face of Sunlight to meet up with a steep class 2+ trail as dark clouds
gathered. The final 50 ft. was class 4 and it was here that pellet snow
started falling and I heard distant thunder. I descended by the quickest
way down, which involved glissading on snow up to 45 deg. where an ice axe
would have helped. But since I didn't have one, the only way to stop was
to hit the rocks at the bottom with my feet out. Below 13,000 ft. the snow
had softened and I was postholing. Below treeline the snow turned to rain
which continued off and on for the next 4 hours.
I don't plan to attempt this again this year, so if anyone wants to attempt
the speed record, let me know and I will post a trip report on my web page.
If you do go, the campground has been torn down but the trailhead is still
open. (I just parked my van there and slept for 3 hours before the run).
I suggest choosing better weather. I plan to stay in the Leadville hostel
and climb a couple 14ers, run the marathon on Saturday, then go to
Silverton for the 10K on Sunday and Hardrock next week.

I sent a note to Jennifer Roach, in response to Andrea's recent
post. I had a tentative pacer drop out this week, so I'm looking if
anyone knows someone willling to pace.
I'm in Ouray right now and only checking e-mail periodically. I can
be reached by cell phone (my dad's phone) at 717-676-2561.
I can use help pacing anywhere from Ouray to the finish. I have
family here to crew for me, so I'd just like someone to run with
me. I'm guessing that I'm a mid-40s runner, but I simply want to
finish. I'm a first-timer here.
Damon Lease
All,
What follows is an experimental (I used to be a forecaster) weather
forecast for 23 points along the HR100 course for a 48 hour finisher

based on NOAA data and forecasts as of Tuesday morning, July 6, 2004.

My Fellow Fiends,
Unless I am *that* totally out-of-touch (of which I have in
fact been oft accused) there's a whole bunch of super-fine
folks out there in Colorado someplace who started this day
with a little wade through a creek.
A fa-fa-fa-FREEZING creek.
And when they finally do get done with their day "today,"
it'll be Sunday.
[Ah, for some maybe (like yours troubly, once); for
others--the even more highly touted fiends--their "day" may
conclude in something under 30 hours. --which is like most
days, eh?]
ROCK ON, YOU HARDROCKERS!!!!!!!!
You folks are all "awesomer" than I can fathom....
Ah, an' Love* I've got for all of "ya."
=======
( O_O )
(*Some ancient high school English teachers MIGHT possibly
*stop* agonizing in their graves after they realize, as we
realize, that some apparently ungrammatical written
expressions CAN, in fact, BECOME grammatical with proper
punctuation. :)

Yankee Folly of the Day:
If the sun's rising and falling determines "a day," but the
sun wasn't created until the fourth day, then how in the
heck did Genesis figure out that it was, in fact, the
"fourth day"?
UC-Yankee Corollary:
Don't try and tell a Hardrocker how long a day is.
There are so many of you out there to thank so VERY VERY much. You ALL made
this years HRH a fantastic success. Thank you for your help at aid stations,
we loved and appreciate it. Your help at the gym before, during, and after
the race was truley energizing. Thank you from all of us here in Silverton
we hope you will return again, soon.
Thank you all you truley are the spirit of Hardork.

Pul-leeeeeze someone tell me they captured our adventures in sheep
herding on camera this weekend.....
Andrea
....kicking myself for not carrying my camera!
While I wasn't above Cunningham to get the pics of the 1000 sheep, I do have
many pictures and video clips of people during the course marking, morning of
the run, and some good pics/video clips of Apt, Kalmeyer, Simpson, Eppleman ,
Garrisonccoming in and kissing the rock. We caught the last 2 verses of Roch's
folk song too.
Email me and I'll send pics/videos to you. I do have some problems figuring out
how to send a large file with sound so I will take suggestions too.

Hello 2004 Hardrock Runners,
I've emailed out the 2004 Runner Feedback Questionnaire as an
attached file to all the runners whose email addresses I have. The
purpose of the feedback is to gather information that the Hardrock
folks can use to improve the run in the future so please take a few
minutes to complete and return it.
Some of you set up filters that think such files are spam and they
don't get through. So, if you have not received the file by
tomorrow, please send me an email (thorn@...) off line and I'll
send it to you individually.
Thanks to all for a great Hardrock.
Charlie Thorn
Thanks, Charlie. I look forward to receiving it. Thanks again, too, for
all your efforts in such a fantastic run this year. It was a banner for
me to finish in under 48 hrs (finally) Without Gerry's pacing, I might
not have made that cutoff time. YOU made the course possible and we are
all very grateful for the love and devotion you've have put forth to
this event year after year.
Thanks again!
