Nope. Pennsylvannia.
I have only high praise for the Summit County Rescue Group for its professionalism and compassionate care. So, my deepest thanks to all of you, John, Paul, Cassie, Jay, Brandon and those whose names I don’t know. And to Bob, who offered my wife his hiking stick and accompanied her safely down the mountain. God bless each of you!

Bad decisions often make good stories.

In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. Proverbs 16:9
I am unable to walk away from the mountain without climbing it. An unclimbed mountain tugs at my consciousness with the eternal weight of time itself. Until I've pressed my face into it's alpine winds, hugged it's ancient granite walls, and put it's weathered summit beneath my heal I'm unable to resist it's attraction.Knowing nature gives the mountain more time than she gives us adds urgency to the obsession. As has been said before; the mountain doesn't care.
