Wyoming 2004 Trip

Brother David turned 40 on July 20. On Monday July 19 the four of us flew to Denver, to surprise him (Amanda was in on it). We stayed overnight just north of Denver, then drove up to Laramie on Tuesday July 20 for the surprise and Birthday Party that night.

Since we flew, APRS tracking of the trip is limited to trackers we borrowed from David after our arrival. (maps to be included soon.)
