	Central Colorado CD Hike

	Cathedral Peak, 13943', Colorado
		After having a relaxing dinner at Grimo's in Poncha Springs, we headed over Independence Pass to camp at the trailhead for Cathedral Lake.
		Maybe it's time to take up golf or something!" We wanted to get an alpine start after receiving beta from various climbers, re-reading Dawson's guide, and the Aspen ranger station telling me they got 4" of new snow in town on Thurs.
		I would guess it's about 45 degrees at the top, but I need to get one of those slope meters to be sure.

	Community Choice energy comes to SF, Sept/Oct 2005 Yodeler
		In 2004 San Francisco took advantage of this law by passing its Energy Independence Ordinance calling for the city to have in place a total of 360 megawatts (MW) of green energy - through conservation and efficiency improvements and use of wind, solar, and other distributed renewable-energy resources.
		This will be the equivalent of one-third of San Francisco's peak energy demand and would include the largest solar energy network in the world.
		Unfortunately, the San Francisco Public Utility Commission is attempting to scale back the renewables goals of Community Choice, ignoring the will of the voters, the Board of Supervisors, and the mayor.

	Mount Kosciuszko
		The peak was named in 1840 by Polish-Australian explorer Paul Strzelecki for Tadeusz Kosciuszko (1746-1817), the Polish military hero who fought in both the American and Polish wars of independence.
