All I Wanted was a Currently Reading Section

Introduction This is a story about how I added a currently reading section to my website. Last summer one of my friends was showing me his website. He liked reading books as well, and had a nice little widget on the homepage that synced up to his Goodreads account and displayed the books he was currently reading. I thought, “Huh, that’s neat. I’ll need to add that to my website at some point.

Leadville First stop in Leadville was a very good pizza place called High Mountain Pies. 10/10, would recommend their “Crocodile Pizza”. Mt. Elbert We woke up at 0530 and were on the trail by 0620. The first part of the hike took us through a fantasy-like aspen forest. My first 14er, Mt. Elbert! What’s nice about this trail is that there wasn’t any rock scrambling required. So, although it is a long hike and there is a lot of elevation gain (~5000 ft for us), there’s no climbing required.
