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!
