Ye Lab Winter Retreat

February 3-5, 2007


Ben (Stuhl) and I got a late start on Saturday morning and decided to stop at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden, on our way up to Keystone, where the Lab and their SOs were finishing up their ski runs and starting in on the cases upon cases of beer that everyone had the wonderful forethought to bring.

You can watch a sad attempt at making a little movie of silly wii-ness here. (it will load in a new window)
