Lots of driving but great folks and fun times to be had. Thanks Logan at Little Rock. Great hospitality by Scott and Sylvan in Los Alamos. Cool snow in Santa Fe. Excellent mix of students in Albuquerque (is that really how you spell it?). Fun times climbing Tom’s Thumb near Phoenix with clinics at PRG and Climbmax. A little breather in Sedona while visiting Martin. Excellent weather in Vegas for the Red Rock Rendezvous.
