Sole Searching In Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park

Back-country Crocs.

My hiking boots sole failed while hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park to Boulder Brook campsite. Hiking the last 1.5 miles with a fully loaded pack in Crocs was not too bad actually--it was better than bare-footed.

The Lidarman Adventure

Putting lidar on a plane.

The NOAA Twin Otter aircraft is here in town for deployment. In the wonderful NCAR hanger. The plane in the background if you can see it, is a G-V.



The lidar after hours of sweating to install it, it's ready to fly.



Props...feathered.



..and Navy P-3 visitation.
