Hi again, CMT Blog fans. Adam Black here from CMT Outsider blogging about another beautiful day in Steamboat Springs, Colo. It’s the last day for Country in the Rockies, a charity event benefiting the T.J. Martell Foundation and its fight against leukemia, cancer, and AIDS. And I’ve been doing my part too, throwing my celebrity around to help get people psyched about giving to the cause. Today, for example, I threw my celebrity around quite a bit — down various sides of a snowy mountain. Also, I got stuck (or “buried” as they call it up here) snowmobiling whilst trying to catch up with Darryl Worley. He was going AWFULLY fast for someone who knew I was trying to keep up. THEN, I saw Troy Gentry at the breakfast buffet. I said hello, and he just reached past me to grab an English muffin. It’s almost as if the people here are unaware of my celebrity status! And the more I try to make them aware, the more mean looks I receive.

But still, I press on, because cancer isn’t going to cure itself. Also, pay no attention to the press that MIGHT report I was trying to sneak into the Celebrity Ski Race. I was simply standing at the starting gate to cheer on Wayne Wong’s team. Yes, I had a number pinned to my chest and had dressed up like Eddie Montgomery, but that was just to show TEAM SPIRIT. Ever heard of team spirit, Mr. Steamboat Springs Chronicle reporter?! Apparently not! But again, don’t pay attention to any of that slander.

All in all, Country in the Rockies turned out to be hugely beneficial to the cause. The T.J. Martell people were awfully nice to us, and the hotel they put us up at even let me have one of those pre-pasted toothbrushes because I left mine at home. Yep, with folks as friendly as those from the T.J. Martell Foundation, we’ll find a cure, and have a great time doing it. Bye from snowy Steamboat Springs. I’m your faithful blogger, Adam Black, wishing you a very merry week of whatever it is you do.
