It all sounds good. Back here the mosquitoes are gone—drowned by the record breaking rainfalls. Good luck, have fun—you’re all amazing!

Hot off the press, the PTO has canceled the Redskins Trademark registration. Do you guys still have those authentic jackets? If upheld on appeal, their worth will be the shipping cost :-)

D.G. I know you want this weather to straighten up so you guys can get a chance at the summit. Crossing my fingers that chance will come real soon. Have you all started numbering the stories yet? Love, Mom

Jen - Sorry to hear that the weather is uncooperative, but it will make it that much sweeter when you do get a chance to go higher. I’m sending my strongest clear calm weather vibes!
