Breckenridge

I am in Breckenridge, Colorado at a Wilderness Medicine Conference.  I have been working on earning  my "Fellowship" in wilderness medicine over the past few years and need to attend these conferences from time to time.  I convinced Deb to come with me and we have had a great time.  The first few days our afternoon activities have been modified by the mountain thunderstorms, but we still have got to do some fun things.  Today we rode mountain bikes along some challenging trails and down through town.  Last evening we did a sunset hike of Quandary Peak.  The rain stopped for our hike but the clouds and mist persisted.  We stood on the 14, 200 ft peak right at dusk, but were enveloped in clouds.  I had to settle on climbing at the local climbing gym as the rain kept us off the rock.  We had the little gym to ourselves, so we still had fun. Each morning before breakfast and lectures we have been doing some trail running.  The higher elevation has us breathing hard for sure. Tonight we are going to a banquet and will get to rub shoulders with some world class explorers and doctors.  It has been refreshing to be in the heart of the Rocky Mountains with the cool summer temperatures.
