     The weather was favorable on my days off the last two weeks, so my dad and I managed to get up a couple of peaks. We hiked Deadwood mountain in the La Platas last week, and then  Wednesday we braved the crowd to the summit of Handies peak. A couple of beautiful days in the mountains with the toughest guy around.
