 Letters from Mountain Gazette No. 162 - December 2009
It’s a snowy September afternoon in Summit County, Colo., and, as I gaze out at the snow falling on my Jacuzzi, I just thought I would thank Mr. Fayhee for the years of relentless heckling he has provided for people who I now somehow seem to resemble. I have become, through some kind of unintentional self-evolution, the kind of person that Mr. Fayhee rightfully lambastes for a living. And I hope he never tires of it, because we deserve it, for sure, dude.

M. John: Regarding the number-6 entry
of Tara Flanagan’s Cartographic, “Bi-Pedal-
Ism,” in MG #158. The first descents down
Repack Hill were done on garden variety
’60s Schwinn-type cruisers, singlespeeds
equipped with rear hub coaster brakes.
Riding the hub brake on the way down this
formidable hill would cause the brake to
heat up enough to melt the grease out of
the rear axle bearings.
 Letters from Mountain Gazette No. 160 - October 2009
Mountain Gazette: I read some of the articles in your April 2009 issue (MG #154). The story “Biddin’ Treasure” was of interest to me as I am a lady concerned about the environment, as Mr. Tim DeChristopher is also! Tell the author of this story, Andy Anderson, thank you, and please ask Mr. Anderson to pass on a note of thanks to Mr. DeChristopher for caring about the land!
 Letters from Mountain Gazette No. 159 - September 2009
Mr. Fayhee, First of all, I enjoy reading the
Mountain Gazette. Particularly your Lost
Art section. More particularly, the writing
by B. Frank! I’m not currently a subscriber,
but am considering a subscription for this
fall when I will be gone from Colorado for
several months. ANYWAY . . . I’ve noticed
that you don’t have archives of articles on
your website, and I would love to have access
to more writing by B. Frank.
 Letters from Mountain Gazette No. 158 - August 2009
Dear Mr. Fayhee: First off, I want to thank you for your rebuttal in defense of my photo of Barkley, my favorite hiking partner. (Letters section, MG #156.) We worked hard for that photo!! It was a pretty burly hike, which, for the record, is on a mountain called Triple Peaks in the Trail Creek drainage of the (foothills) of the Pioneer, Boulder and Smoky mountain ranges just outside of Ketchum, Idaho.
 Letters from Mountain Gazette No. 157 - July 2009
Thank you very much for recently highlighting and promoting the need for volunteering at your local public radio station (Cartographic, "Pour me a cold one," by Laura Paskus, MG #153) in your March 2009 issue of Mountain Gazette. I have proudly served as a volunteer for nearly three years as a DJ for Radio Free Minturn, which was started by dedicated individuals from throughout the Vail Valley after many, many years of grassroots efforts.

A belated "thank you" for the gift of Peter Kray's "Ode to the Mountain Girl" intro in the February 2009 issue. I had placed a stack of back issues of the MG on my kitchen table last week with the intent of giving my weekend houseguest some relevant reading material. I had skimmed through a few of these Gazettes in the past weeks, but I hadn't yet completed my usual cover-to-cover. Hadn't touched February at all.
 Letters from Mountain Gazette No. 155 - May 2009
M. John: Just a quick note to say thanks so much for writing your piece about your dog Cali (“And Woof To you, Old Girl,” by M. John Fayhee, Smoke Signals, MG #151). What a lovely piece: thanks for sharing. It was poignant and moving — I know that's not your normal modus operandi, but I'm glad you branched out. I'm sure you touched many readers with your piece.
 Letters from Mountain Gazette No. 154 - April 2009
I'm not surprised that someone created a website to bring together lifestyle wish lists and towns. In 1994, I myself embarked on a 6-month road trip to go check out a bunch of places in hopes of finding The Spot to put down roots of some sort. Among my list of must-have features were simple things like: post office, hardware store, library, coffee shop, ski lifts, whitewater, desert access and willingness to let in a newcomer. There was an implied maximum size and typical weather conditions that should weigh on the sunny side. And I stuck to the Rockies.
