We showed Mr. Stubbs Medicine Bow peak (12,018 ft.) from miles away. In 1955 a commercial airliner flying in bad weather with limited visibility failed to clear the summit by a few hundred feet and slammed into the rock face. People still find pieces-parts of airplane and human bone at the site.

We left the cabin and headed home. We showed Mr. Stubbs the Vedauwoo rock formations but somehow neglected to take a picture. We stopped at the Ames monument constructed on the Transcontinental Railroad line, which commemorates the corrupt U.S. representative and his brother who had a big part in the development and construction of the line. In a bit of poetic justice, the UP relocated the track after the construction of the monument, so the rail line no longer passes by the monument. We also photographed Stubbs observing Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado from about 50 miles away.
