Hi there, Mike,
We went to the Lee Co.Community Band Concert at 3:00 on Sat, then went to look at the tornado damage before heading for the Sieferts’ Super Bowl party. Brought Apple Streudel, two boxes of football brownies, and a case of Coke Zero. Had a great time;everyone asked about you. As you know our Carolina Panthers lost; Cam Newton didn’t do much. So glad that you will ascending the summit tomorrow rather than Sat. Brrr! Love reading J.J.Justman’s blog.
Happy climbing
Mom and Dad

It was an awesome game. Great defense on Broncos and they pummeled Cam Newton several. times. I was still a little sad though my Packers were not in it. I know Cheese head. LOL. Hope all of you are doing well and wish you the best of luck on your summit bid.
I am so looking forward to doing this climb or a Denali climb in the next couple of years. Will be doing Rainier next year, and then Denali or this one the year after.

I can only imagine all the hard work and planning that has gone into a trip like this. You all should be proud. Great accomplishments from hard working young men and women.

Hi there, Mike,
We’re following your blog. It looks like it’s really cold and very windy there with gale force winds and above. Take care and be safe.

I expected the Rockies to be a little rockier than this…that John Denver is full of shit. Have a great time Greg…watch out for Bigfoot because I heard from a friend of mines dad that he lives there.
I miss you
