This was something that JB and I thought of. We hope it’s something that you’ll enjoy. It’s full of Christmas music and laced with greetings from your forums friends.
There’s nearly an hour of music on this podcast. This music is available for me to play with no royalty concerns. The artists are independent. If there are any particular ones you enjoy, you can find them and more at either PodShow.com or IodaPromonet.com. I’ll list the songs below to help anyone interested in tracking them down. Also, feel free to cruise through those music networks and suggest music for future use on this podcast.
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all have a great and meaningful Christmas spent with your friends and family celebrating the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. God Bless you all!!

Part 3, and the final in this series that covers our backcountry adventure through the Lost Lake area as well as the Boulder-Grand Pass areas. You can really hear how tired we’d become during the last segment of this podcast. It’s a bit of a silly podcast as well since there was one point, during recording, that I cracked up from watching the crazy white guy on the Jeffersons TV show. I decided not to edit it out.
