I enjoyed doing this hike with you, Snow Nymph, but you better watch out, or you'll get addicted to these big day hikes. I can see it happening already!

I finally got time this week to sit down and thumb through the album. Cool pics, wish I could have participated in the early days too. Great to finally meet you in person as well. Keep me mind come winter when u guys hit the slopes. Eric J Lee
