Photo Don Laine RMOWPers heading up to the Theresa Mine above Victor. It was a cold day - it acturally started to snow before we headed back down the mountain!

We renewed old friendships and made new ones.

Numerous things occupied our time: the showing of all photo contest entries... several informative and frequently entertaining workshops... field trips into the beautiful areas around Colorado Springs... the ever evolving annual auction - this year with the addition of a captivating Hawaiian shirt contest... the incredibly well-orchestrated awards at the Saturday night banquet... plus the attendant business of RMOWP: board meetings.... annual meeting... It seemed like we hardly stopped to sleep. For more details see the July-August issue of Rocky Mountain Outdoors.

Conference organizers are planning next year's conference even as you read this.
