1. Brief update on the Beaver Brook tumblr theme in progress: I added photo captions, now they appear when you rollover an image.  I want to submit it to the theme store, but Tumblr requires that themes support all post types (chat, audio, etc), which I haven’t had time (or interest, given this is photoblog) to build. Do you have a theme in the Tumblr store and are you interested to help me wrap this up? There seems to be a lot of folks who want to use this theme and I’d love to get it to them — you could help! MSG me.

  5. Big images of Beaver Brook now at beaverbrook.com. This weekend, while visiting Indiana for Christmas with the fam, I’ll clean up the codebase and submit it to the Tumblr Theme store — I’m really digging full-screen, stacked image scrolling, would like to see more photoblogs this way.

  15. cabinporn:

    In the U.S., mountain huts were constructed long ago by herders, miners and the forest service. In the 1940’s, the tenants of Rocky Mountain huts quickly changed. Returning WW2 soldiers from mountain divisions trained for alpine survival were keen to make skiing their lifestyle and once they relocated to Colorado they refurbished old huts for basecamps.

    Hut historian Louis Dawson noted that the first true ski hut in Colorado was probably created in the late 1940s, when Billie Tagert and his friends fixed up an old miner’s cabin at the head of Castle Creek near Aspen.

    This wide system of huts near Aspen are still around and available for reservation by the public for those brave enough to go backcountry.
