Kof 2002 mafjc plus is an updated version of the classic fighting game, The King of Fighters 2002. This version was released in 2002 and features various improvements and additions to the original game. One of the main changes in Kof 2002 mafjc plus is the inclusion of new characters. The roster of playable characters is expanded, allowing players to choose from a wider variety of fighters with unique abilities and playstyles. This adds more depth and diversity to the gameplay, as different characters require different strategies to be successful. In addition to new characters, Kof 2002 mafjc plus also introduces new stages for players to battle on.

I clean up the best I can while fighting my typical high-altitude morning nausea. I emerge from my tent at first light to a deer and her fawn eating breakfast in the clearing. They make me feel safer, somehow. I pack up and as soon as it is light enough to appease the background fear in my brain, I start hiking.

The trail climbs four miles from my campsite to the unique Snow Mesa, supposedly the largest high altitude plateau entirely above 12,000 feet in the country. A wireless multiroom speaker system is the easiest way to listen to music, podcasts, and other audio entertainment in more than one room at a time, and we think Sonos is the best option.

In addition to new characters, Kof 2002 mafjc plus also introduces new stages for players to battle on. These stages feature visually appealing designs and vibrant backgrounds that add to the overall atmosphere of the game. Each stage also has its own unique music, further immersing players in the experience.

I Thought Mesas Were Supposed to Be Flat: Colorado Trail Days 12-13

I wake at 5 am. Today is a town day, but I have to hike 10.4 miles by 12:30 pm to make the shuttle into Lake City. This is a doable goal, but I am nervous nonetheless, especially knowing the day starts with 3 miles of climbing.

The sun doesn’t rise until 6:30, and it is pitch black in my tent. I camped alone and last night heard the most coyotes I ever have, and this time, they were quite close. Coyotes don’t go after humans, typically, but I still don’t feel comfortable leaving my tent in the dark. But boy, do I have to pee.

I decide to do my freezer gallon Ziploc bag trick (I carry two in my poop kit for this exact purpose, and they have served me well). Unfortunately, in the nerves of the morning, something doesn’t go quite right. Now there are pee droplets on my tent floor and down sleeping booties. I am truly hiker trash. Thank goodness it is a town day.

Someone Is Watching

I am a little more on edge because just above the trail here is a rocky section of the mountain. Mountain lions often use rocky outcroppings such as these to hunt, and dawn is a particularly active time. I try to focus on the hike ahead to squelch the fears, but I can’t help but feeling like I am being watched. I enter an open stretch of trail with that nagging feeling continuing, so I finally summon the courage to stop and look around.

Sure enough, I am being watched. But not by mountain lions – at least, not that I can see. On the ridge directly across from me are three bighorn sheep, frozen and staring at me. And just above me are several deer, studying me with confusion to determine whether I am friend or foe. I laugh. This is an audience of the best kind.

I had to zoom way in, but there are three bighorn sheep in this picture.

The Much Anticipated Snow Mesa

The trail climbs four miles from my campsite to the unique Snow Mesa, supposedly the largest high altitude plateau entirely above 12,000 feet in the country. Because it is flat and entirely above treeline, it can be a scary place during a thunderstorm. This is why I timed it for first thing in the morning.

I have heard so much about the beauty of the plateau and highly anticipate getting to experience it myself. The climb to it seems to take forever. When I finally think I can see the top, I meet a Continental Divide Trail (CDT) hiker going the other way who sadly informs me I have farther to go. Toughened by the climb, I appreciate the honesty and push onwards. I round a bend and there, in front of me across the way, is Snow Mesa. It looks unreal, and it is all downhill from here.

Or so it seems. It is mostly downhill, but across scree. I have come to loathe hiking on rocks of nearly all kinds on this trail. Scree is the price to pay for high altitude beauty, though, so I watch my step and push on.

Wait, I Thought Mesas Were Flat

Soon enough, I am on Snow Mesa itself. It wasn’t completely downhill to get there, but now that I am on the plateau I hope to make up some time. It should be flat, right? I should be able to easily cruise across it to the descent.

Alas. The trail itself is rutted. It is barely wide enough for two feet and it is rounded, turning my ankles inward at an awkward and uncomfortable angle. At several points, the rut becomes so bad a new trail has been stamped out next to the official trail. From a Leave-No-Trace perspective, this is unfortunate. To my ankles, it is a welcome relief.

And surprisingly, the plateau is not as flat as expected. I knew there would be minor ups and downs but some of the climbs are straight up. As I huff up the unexpected climbs, I can’t help but think that the steepest section (over 20% grade!) would be avoidable with a small trail adjustment. I run into other hikers who make the same observation. Once past the worst hill, though, it does flatten out more.

The vast expanse of Snow Mesa. Just ahead, the dark spot on the photo is the beginning of the steep descent.

I so badly wanted to love Snow Mesa, but I feel frustrated and irritated by it. I slowly realize that I have been hiking solely off of a granola bar and the pull of town, and I feel the hanger rising. The note I wrote in my journal later was “Didn’t eat enough so was a super crank to myself the whole time.” Whoops. Calorie deficit aside, I am annoyed at having to rush through something I wanted to enjoy. I again wish I had pushed through last night to camp with Jeff and John so I could have enjoyed the morning a bit more.

The Worst Descent (Yet)

Finally, I reach the edge. After miles of the (mostly) gently sloping plateau, the trail seems to dive suddenly off a cliff. If I hated the rocks before, this is a whole new experience. The trail is incredibly steep down through a talus and scree field. Marmots have burrowed into the trail and I have to carefully step around the holes, testing the rocks for secure footholds. I immediately know this two mile descent, losing nearly 1400 feet of elevation, is going to be quite slow.

The very beginning of the descent from Snow Mesa.

The worst of it is the first half mile, but the loose rock doesn’t let up for quite a while. Just when I think I finally have the hang of it, my foot catches and I fly forward. My knee lands with full force on a rock. There are a couple of day hikers just around the bend behind me, so I pull myself up and continue descending (can’t let them see my weakness!), but I know that wasn’t just any fall. I feel my right kneecap start to swell. My hatred for loose rock grows.

Thankfully, the descent levels out a little more and before I know it, I am at the Spring Creek Pass trailhead. I made it by noon. A growing group of hikers lays in the shade, passing stories and recommending gear. First, it is John, with BP and Breezy, who I met when they passed me earlier on trail. After a few minutes, Tortoise and the Hare-Catcher join us. Another hiker makes it with just a couple minutes to spare, and he explains that he hiked 16 miles to make it. I am simultaneously impressed and exhausted just listening to his tale.

The gameplay mechanics in Kof 2002 mafjc plus have also been refined and improved. The controls are more responsive and intuitive, allowing for smoother and more precise inputs. The fighting system has also been balanced and tweaked, ensuring a fair and competitive playing field for all players. Furthermore, Kof 2002 mafjc plus includes various gameplay modes to keep players engaged. These modes range from the classic arcade mode, where players fight through a series of opponents to reach the final boss, to the multiplayer versus mode, where players can battle against each other in local or online matches. The game also features a training mode, allowing players to practice their skills and learn new strategies. Overall, Kof 2002 mafjc plus is a fantastic update to the original King of Fighters 2002. With its expanded roster of characters, new stages, improved gameplay mechanics, and various gameplay modes, this version offers an enhanced and more enjoyable fighting game experience for both casual and competitive players..
