Remember…. it is the trip that is most important…not the destination…per “Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: an inquiry into values” by Robert M. Pirsig”...from a ‘60s mama…...love and prayers for all…come home safely.

Glad you’re all safe. Even though you weren’t able to reach the summit, I hope the journey was an adventure!

It took Thomas Edison over 1000 attempts to perfect the light bulb. Sorry you guys did not make it THIS TIME!! glad you guys are all safe.

You guys are great! I know you’re disappointed, but reaching the summit is nothing compared to your safety.
Love, Dad
