| Hike on Meadow Falls Trail in Snowy Range, Medicine Bow National Forest. Trail guide says ~350' of climb. Meadow Falls was somewhat anti-climatic, but the hike was very nice - a mix of wooded (by Western standards) and open meadows. All above 10,000 ft elevation. Saw a fox in the parking lot - kept our distance since he didn't seem to be concerned by our presence. |

| US Night-O Championships - "The Lights of Cheyenne" map. An abyssmal performance with about 23-24 minutes of errors, mostly on 4 different controls. Maybe if I did Night-O more than once a year I'd do better. Ended up 4th in M50, 15th overall on Green. |
