I took the girls hiking up above Turquoise Lake west of Leadville on Sunday. We hiked part of the old Colorado Midland Railroad grade leading up to Hagerman Tunnel, the highest-altitude tunnel ever built. Sadly, I’m not in good enough shape to hike all the way to the tunnel yet but we did put in 3.5 miles of 11,300-foot hiking. I was exhausted and the dogs were happy.

I had been planning to attend (as in, already purchased airfare) a rugby tournament in Argentina in October. I was getting a little concerned that the event was about two months out and the tickets were not yet on sale. Today I discovered why:
Argentina Sevens World Series round postponed
Sadly, in this case by “postponed” they mean cancelled for this year. Since I’ve already purchased my airfare to Argentina and been granted the time off of work, I suppose I will still go and explore Argentina and have a vacation and stuff. I can’t say that I am happy about this, though.

I’m really not sure what happened with this one… I certainly didn’t do anything to cause this effect but it is neat.

Happy Colorado Day!
Today is the anniversary of statehood for Colorado (1 August 1876). Happy 136th!
