Julius -- what a TERRIFIC trip report! I loved every part of it. The general narrative (I used to know him when he was a lieutenant), the humor, the pictures, the enthusiasm you displayed (mirroring my own that I had had when doing the hike) . . .
That Internet whacko you met will have a tough time matching your trip report with his. (It's psychology, folks . . . trying to give Steve a challenge!)
And -- YOUR DAUGHTER IS A TERROR! Is she of this earth? Is a Matterhorn summit in her future? Wow.
Got to your report before Steve's picture link. Now I've got your link too.
Thanks Whitney Fan,
The General turned in to a Major pain in the arse once he was promoted from LT.
Truth be told I would be lost without spell check. I would be like Obama without a teleprompter or W without Cheney
( equal opportunity offender here)...( they are all crooks according to my daughter).
Born behind the Iron Curtain I was lucky not to be immersed in "bilingual education" when I came to this Great Country.
I learned everything I know from books, TV and Mountains.
The more I know Mountains the less I like people... but I digress...
Steve has nothing to worry about.
Matterhorn? Maybe later. This June we're going for Williamson and Tyndall if my knee holds up.
Late July is open for suggestions, vacation time is already booked.
