I spent most of my first day in Colorado driving to the top of Pikes Peak, my first trip above 14,000ft. A few afternoon thundershowers almost scuttled my visit, but they cleared out in time for me to make the drive to the summit. Since, it was my first day I was hardly acclimated to the thin air at the higher elevation, but even if I could scamper all over the peak, I could enjoy the views. Not to mention the fun of driving to the top of the mountain along a very scenic road.

About Me
Pogwatigue Perambulations
Pogwatigue: A Pottawatomie word meaning 'running water.' Early settlers chose this word as the original name for my hometown, Niles, Michigan.
Perambulation: roam, stroll, inspection of an area on foot.
My intent for this blog is to catalog my various local, regional, national, and perhaps someday international explorations. Originally, I found the blog a good vehicle to publish Google maps on the internet and all my initial posts have such a map embedded, but I don't limit myself to that genre. Almost all the posts will have a personal, geographic element. For the title, I chose Pogwatigue due to its ties to my roots roots and perambulations as a fancy, alliterative word to describe the content.
