Went to Lost trail, the first stop of our multi state, 9 day ski trip trip, here's some GPS paths of our path down from the top on our hike. There is actually a lift to the top, which you can see on the second picture. But it wasn't running because it was too windy. So we walked to the top instead..It was worth it though, great snow it was.. This is a view from the "right" of the topo. Lost trail pass, MT

Added a Calendar on the right to show the plans for the ski trip John and I hashed out..

Coming home from the 22nd-6th. Yeah!

It sounds like science fiction: a brain nurtured in a Petri dish learns to pilot a fighter plane as scientists develop a new breed of "living" computer. But in groundbreaking experiments in a Florida laboratory that is exactly what is happening. The "brain", grown from 25,000 neural cells extracted from a single rat embryo, has been taught to fly an F-22 jet simulator by scientists at the University of Florida. the whole article here
