This was my first high desert classic and I might just have to add this one to my must shoot list. It was windy, dusty and a little on the warm side, but the stages were outstanding and I thought it was well run, with the exception of the BS penalty on Charlie, which cost him overall in Limited. Oh well, we all know who really won the division so a bittersweet good on you. Glenn Higdon won overall, but it was much closer than usual, as the competition was pretty close in the open class. Glenn put down three napalm runs on Sun morning to pull off the win. Being on a fun squad can make all the difference in a match and my squad was great. Everyone helped keep things moving and no one was apprehensive to share stage break down ideas if asked. In general the Colorado shooters did well. Glenn, Hannu and Anne all did excellent. Curtis, Ron Hansen, Kathy and I pulled down respectable finishes also. Rich Boyes didn't win anything, but had a break out event and we were all thrilled to watch him push down the gas pedal. He'll be dangerous some day in the not so distant future.

Anyway, if anyone from the high desert crew is reading this, thanks for a really fun event. Can't wait to shoot it again next year.
