Mt. McKinley: Haugen & Team Waiting for Flight to Talkeetna

Sunday, June 30, 2013 After waking up at 2 in the morning and making a massive push to get to the landing strip, we are stuck in freezing rain with no hope for a flight today. Peter- Cannot wait to see my loving wife and daughter Maggie. Had a great trip! Grasshopper- Dream realized. Love to everyone! Cindy- Thanks for all of the great comments! Maija, the Internet code is Zootrubie :) Sandra- Cant wait for Thanksgiving in Hawaii! Quinn- Save my seat on the couch. Give everyone a hug! See you all soon. Lance- Cannot wait to see my three girls! Kisses to all. Steve- To Bill and Lisa, where are the gluten free Pop Tarts? Tania, can't wait to see you as soon as possible my darling! Uchal- family : I love you all so much and thank you for the understanding and support. I can't wait to see everyone when I get back. I have decided to leave NC this winter so I can spend more time in Roc City. Keep the couches open - I am coming home. Katie- To Mom and Dad, love you and miss you. See you soon! Haugen- Love you Amber, Paris, Paige, Brigitte, Jack, Alex! I love you mom and dad and I for sure owe you a Halibut dinner!! Thank you all for the blog comments!

Bad news is, we already gave up your seat on the couch. Good news is, we think you’re really gonna like the new guy!! :-) Just kidding (but seriously, hurry home!)

Safe travels home to everyone….after a “near summit” adventure, then a real summit, this part should be easy! But….do hurry!  Will have cupcakes waiting!

Steve, I don’t know if they have come up with GF pop tarts yet but the new chocolate peanut butter ones have changed our lives.  I have to fight Bill for them.
