After contacting Paul Wednesday night, he sent out a notice over email that we would ride Thursday evening out to Bull Gap Mountain. A few folks turned out.

Here after all these years, we haven't got very far with manned space flight. It isn't important. If it's "giant leaps" we are after, there are plenty to be had.
