Had a plan to meet
up with someone from the south unit for a tour, but that fell
through.  Instead, I hiked around Sheep Mountain Table with Steven
and Amanda.  Spend several hours up there, and got much better
photographs than last time.  After that, Steven and I ran over to
Rapid for a couple errands, then back to the quad for a steak dinner
prepared by Ed.  Mmmm.  I made butternut squash and wilted spinach to
accompany, and a bunch of us dined together: Ed, Steven, John, Ryan,
and Amanda.  Delightful.
