It is no Rooster Comb but I still admire you for the challenge. If you see anyone from Huntington, L.I. climbing and playing a guitar-capture it and bring it home.

John and Wess - Hope you

John and Wess - Hope you Batavia Boys are having a good time. We are having a heat wave with 25 degree temps. Rides - all is well on the homefront. Love you and miss you. Liz

Wess - Wed morning

Wess, All is well. Dogs walked me hard this morning and I'm all the better for it. Our Camp JoJo in the living room is great. Quinn thinks we should make it permanent... glad to see you're in shorts.

Hi So! Hope all is well and that you and fam/friends are having the time of your lives!! Miss our chats, but when you come back, you'll have a lot to tell me about!

Good luck with the climb. Sounds like an amazing trip.
Let me know if there is a Hoot Owl at the top as rumored. Don't forget Survival 101..when you run out of food you always eat the biggest guy first....

Best regards,

Rides:

Just got back from boot camp...I'm exhausted but cheating less! All is well here. I think Carm may want you to drive her in for a couple of months when you get back. Saw Liz at a mall in Cleveland...I was shocked!

Big Wess:

Lookin' good. I too am glad that you have lost the pants. Surprised to see you eating. I'm having a little turkey pot pie myself! I'm well, thanks.

Keep up the good work!

Mike G.

Wess ... looks like fun ...

Looks like a very memorable trip. It's a good thing you aren't doing it on a bike like we did in D.C. long ago. You have a much better chance on foot!! In all seriousness, we look forward to your updates and a full account when you return. Best Regards, Tracy & Raouf

Hi Yagneshmama

Hi Mama,

Anoopa just told me what you are doing and I have to say I'm really impressed.
I wish I had the motivation to do something like this.
You must have done a lot of training for this.

John and Wess:

Everyone here is happy and relieved that you have accomplished your mission and arrived off the hill safely! Your strength, courage, and will are admired by many. The emotions and sights at the top are probably difficult to put into words. The cause is also impressive. The funds you both raised in memory of so many and with the hope that others can be helped is awesome. I'm sure those above were watching and smiling.

Lets transition:

Wess:
Monkeys over your head swating you with their tails similar to being swatted on the racquetball court with, yes, a brand new racquet??? How fitting.

Rides:
I know you're concerned about me, my health, and how Boot Camp is going. Very well, I must say. I've lost 36 pounds and have a full head of hair.

Looking forward to both of you returning.
