Arrived in Seattle

Arrived safe and sound. Made a trip to the local REI store to pick up
some last minute items:

Ice axe
Wool socks
Glacier glasses - these are strong sunglasses to block all the UV rays
at altitude

I have been touched by everyone's support and interest. I have
received a ton of emails and some have commented on the site. I hope I
don't disappoint. There is a mountaineering saying that goes "the
summit is optional, getting back down safely isn't."

I leave tomorrow to drive to the mountain. Talk to you then.

  1. How could you not have an extra ice axe or two laying around in the garage. I thought everyone in Florida had one "just in case"!!
