Oh, to Live Elsewhere

People that live in Colorado are so lucky. So are people that live in Washington, Oregon, California, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico... Basically, people that live within 4 hours drive of real, honest-to-God mountains are lucky. We had a blast in Colorado this weekend. We went to Lost Creek Wilderness, which is about an hour or two drive from Denver, depending on where in the Wilderness you decide to enter. I will work on a trip report, but until I can get that finished here are some pictures.

The end of the weekend was not quite so great. Apparently the floodgates opened in Houston last night, and the plane that was supposed to come to Denver to pick us up was grounded for about three hours. We were supposed to leave Denver at 5:55PM. We boarded the plane at 8:15PM. I'm not sure exactly when we left, but it was 12:10AM when we got off the plane. I got to bed at about 2AM, and I'm feeling it this morning. This was after getting up at 5AM with Gavin to hike over a 1000 ft ridge. Why did we get up that early? Well, it's a bit of a story and you're going to have to wait for the trip report. Suffice to say, I'm tired.

The class I was supposed to take on JAVA at work all week got cancelled. Oh, well. I guess I'll have to work on all that stuff they told me I needed to improve in my Interim sim last week. More studying...
