Full Moon Hike up Mount Sanitas : I got a few friends together to hike up Mount Sanitas in Boulder during the full moon.  
The news said it was the closest the moon has been to the earth in 15 years.  
We didn't notice a difference, but it was bright enough out to not need any flashlights, and to have our shadows on the ground.
Leisurely hike was about 5 miles, took us about 3 hours.  Ice was on the trail in places, which slowed us down a bit.

Truck Camper : After having such a sweet time in our campervan in NZ, we came back and bought a camper that fits in the back of Heather's (our) Toyota Tacoma.  All the benefits of a campervan, but with the advantage of being able to take it off when we're home.  Check it out.

Southwest Colorado Trip : Heather and I took a week off to go see parts of Colorado that we have rarely if ever seen: Ouray, Silverton, Durango, and Crested Butte. We managed to see my parents for two days, get in a great 20 mile backpack trip, hang out in Durango, and then camp around Crested Butte for a couple of days.  The scenery is some of the best I have ever seen, period, and the hiking was fantastic.

Summiting Longs Peak 2006 : With fond memories of Mike Mcaffrey and I hiking Longs Peak back in 2002, we revisited the same campsite and path that we had taken back then.  This time there were 5 of us, and the weather was even better than last time.  We all made it up and down safe and sound, although very sore for the days afterward.
