My plan for this year was to hike from Breckenridge to Twin Lakes, via Leadville, and then hike the Collegiate Loop. That would've been about 200 miles. I didn't even make it to Twin Lakes. For some reason I just wasn't in to hiking this year. Maybe it was the distance, I don't know. The scenery that I had already enjoyed should have spurred me on but it did not.

The hiking for the day was not difficult. The trail went past a few landmarks. First thing in the morning was Cataract Creek Falls. Shortly thereafter the trail went through a meadow until it passes Camp Hale bunker ruins. At 9300' Camp Hale was a military, winter training camp during WWII. I bet it was cold and snowy!

After crossing East Fork Eagle River, the trail reentered the woods. I took a short break at the James Miller Memorial Bench where I contemplated going into Leadville earlier than planned. There are 3 easy access points to Leadville from the Colorado Trail. I was planning to catch a hitch at the end of Segment 8 via Tennessee Pass off of US24. The trail crosses US24 several miles before Tennessee Pass and that is where I decided to go in.

I caught a ride fairly quickly and made it to the Leadville Hostel where my car was parked. I was done hiking but I wasn't done hiking. Less than 35 miles of hiking for this year. Well those were backpacking miles. After getting off the trail I hung around Leadville for a few days. I day hiked the rest of Segment 8 and a portion of Segment 9. I climbed Mount Elbert (start very early to avoid crowds and possible thunderstorms).

So even though I didn't hike as far as I had planned I still had a good time exploring around Leadville.

7 Segment Display by TonyJ99

My third project - and I'm particularly proud of this one because I worked out how to do it myself, instead of following a guide.

It's similar in concept to the flashing LEDs, but this time we're using a 7 segment display to count from 0 to 9 then A to F - ooh!

Diana's Walnut & Maple Segmented Vase by Jim Voss

I patiently made this segmented vase from many little pieces of walnut and hard maple. It's an anniversary present for my wife. After all, five years is supposed to be wood. I think it's my best work yet.

The aim was to get to know and experiment with oil paints using the body as my muse. Using mainly my fingers as a tool, but sometimes using a brush for the fine edges. They are each about 32x22 cm.
