Just found that the Fort Collins REI is having the fall Garage Sale on October 3, 2009. I’m definitely going! I probably won’t go as crazy as I did in June (I think I spent way to much…), but I’ll definitely be looking for some good deals on clothing and gear. Maybe I’ll see you there!
Late Update (2009-11-28 12:27): Here’s a picture of the items I ended up picking up:
Gear from REI Garage Sale (October 2009)
I was hoping for some clothes and found some, but not exactly what I was looking for. I picked up a new pair of Keen’s as my previous pair was falling apart. I also found a great pair of waterproof boots that were marked down quite a bit. Finally, there’s a pair of pants that were really cheap.
Just got back from the REI Garage Sale. This is an event where REI sells off all of their returned, display, and vendor return items for 50-75% off (or greater). I needed some gear as I’ve been hiking some more involved trails lately and wanted appropriate gear. Needless to say, I picked up some sweet gear and saved a ton of money! Details in the full post.

A group of SiParCS interns (and one full time employee) decided to attempt to climb Bear Peak today. This is probably the highest peak so close to NCAR, so it is a good one to do right after work. The group included Nick, Kuo, Evan, Dan, Ben, and myself. Unfortunately due to the crazy weather we’ve been having here in boulder recently, we didn’t make it to the top, but we will soon!
