Indicator Cranium

Ten bucks if you figure out that title. Okay one dollar. Call Adam if you figure it out, he's good for it, I swear. 

Enough with the games and on to the good stuff. 

This wasn't the first time that we have done work up the hill, in fact we are basically veterans at running jobs from afar. It had been a few months however, and this time was different. There were numerous reasons as to why it was different i.e. workload in denver, different subs, gas prices, etc. While we were in the thick of it, having to run up the hill, spending four hours in the car round trip and for what? A 30 minute inspection? We found ourselves wondering (at times) why do we continuously take work so for from home base? I'll tell you why. Because it is such a different animal. The projects that we produce in the mountains never seem to not amaze. We meet some of the most interesting people (not to say our Denver clients are not interesting), do some of the most wild projects, and find lots of good time to do some deep thinking while driving back and forth. Needless to say, we just wrapped up one of our mountain projects and it feels so good to be finished and to be so pleased with the finished product. And I can assure you, that we will continue to take work up there. As a matter of fact, we are bidding our next project as we write. 

If you have a few minutes, take a break from whatever you are doing and sit back and enjoy this project through the lens of the camera.

Cool, huh? Now all we need is the owner to let us crash there so that we can start taking some ski weekends. Just kidding, there is no time for skiing.
