Geocaching continued to be a big part of our life and it helped us learn the area around our new home when we moved to New York this year. John took a position at D.E. Shaw Research and began working in May. Lynn wrapped things up at Caltech and finished the move at the end of the summer.
Our Urban Challenge adventures continued and we entered the
Los Angeles qualifying race in
July, expecting it to be a warm-up practice. Much to our surprise as
we staggered across the finish line, John and I learned that we came in 9th
and would be going on to the
Miami National Finals in November.
Friends, Cliff and Joyce, were also in the Miami finals having qualified at the
Boston Race. We were on their research team for that win.
