The dance was devised by Jeff Davis to be performed on the top of Pikes peak where the SDC
of Colorado set a high altitude record for Scottish Country Dancing. The author hoped there
might be enough other total idiots who would want to dance a jig as well as the planned
strathspey at that elevation. Small and rabbit-like, the Pika can be found scurrying through
the rocks at high altitude, gathering and storing the tundra grasses in little haystacks for the
coming winter.
