Coordinator notes: Your ID is correct...a male. If you hiked from the top of Milner Pass and to the south as the dot indicates then you were in Larimer County (Grand County is west from the top of Milner Pass...Larimer County to the east) so it looks like the correct county is Larimer. The dot controls the location...if it gets mixed because the county lines are all in proximity, it is not an issue because I can check it by the dot location. Mike
