Pikes Peak Looming...

Ok, I am officially nervous. Two days to go - 1 and a half really because it's already Thursday night, isn't it, and we start at 5am on Saturday. Eek. Tonight, I borrowed a Camelbak for water, a rain jacket - I left mine on a Delta flight a few days ago and it never was found.

The best way for me to prepare and wind up on the pre-climb stuff here on the blog for tonight is to post this...

a photo of Bryan Mitchell, in whose honor I am climbing. I don't want to repeat myself because I know anyone paying attention has read my letters about who Bryan is/was to us. Say a prayer for his wife and kids left behind if you think of it and say one for me too!

I am pleased to have raised, with your help, over $1800 to help fight cancer and will post pics from the top once I get there.
