Jake and Mike—
Watch out for that Lyle character! He’s a handful. Beware the deceptively charming southern accent and for God’s sake, only keep potable water in your Nalgene!
Adventure on, Dan! Your summit awaits. True challenge begins just when you’re most miserable and your comfort zone is far behind.
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares drop off like autumn leaves.” - John Muir
