My wife Pam is my hiking buddy.

From the first day we met, to the day we got married at Whitney Portal, to the day we hiked to the top of Mt. Whitney, to the top of Lembert Dome, to the day we hiked to the top of Fuji-san, to the day we hiked to the top of Thor's Peak, my wife has been there alongside me through it all.

We push each other, caution each other, embrace each other on our accomplishments, and sometimes we drink ourselves silly until we pass out.

I, too, had a Taz regaled in safari gear. My wife put it somewhere, can't find it, and I have not missed it.



Journey well...
