Subject: Donations


Hello Chili Peppers:
There have been inquiries regarding the donation fee for costs of the hiking trips. It's not news that gas has gone up considerably, nearly a $1 a gallon more than last year. Gas, costs to maintain vehicles to drive to remote rugged trail heads, and guiding have resulted in the following recommended donations by section of the trail:

Sections 1-14: $40
Sections 15-20: $50
Sections 21-Durango: $75

As always, please contact me if you have questions. Bonnie

Subject: Web Site Name Vote

Hello Chili Peppers:
Here are the submissions for a web site name for our hiking group. All seem to like some variation of "red hot chili peppers" - our web name needs to be much shorter. So here's your chance to vote and/or add your own. The web site is fabulous thanks to Liz Hamilton and is ready to go public as soon as we name it. So please, if you could put your vote in at your earliest opportunity we can show all our friends and neighbors what adventuresome and accomplished hikers we really are! You can respond to manysprings@earthlink.net.

All chiles are from the family of the "CAPSICUMS", so ideas include:
  • Capsicums....red and hot
  • Chiles Fresco
  • Spice of Life
  • High Altitude Chiles
  • The Salsa Girls
  • Colorado Trail Chiles
  • Rainbow Chiles ( because of ALL ages and colors)
  • Shades of Chiles( or Peppers)
  • The Chile Girls
  • Hiking with Peppers
  • The Colorado Peppers
  • High Red Peppers
  • Just for Peppers
  • Chili Pepper Hikers
  • Hot Chili Hikers
  • Hot Attitude Hikers
  • Chili Hikers (some semblance of our old name)

 


Future Hikes: As the new group will have made Breckenridge - CONGRATULATIONS!! - we will start to jump around as weather and snow pack make more sections available. For all who are trying to get specific segments in and also to finish, we will start customizing the schedule according to those needs. Anyone who has not made a request for a specific segment, this would be a good time to speak up. I'm actually going to attempt to make a schedule of this information.

Cheerio, Bonnie
