Jodi, just got your MSG as I just got home from work. My buddy rob and myself just talked and came up with the same plan to go for the needle. Better forcast. See you Saturday! Not sure if we are going up to camp Friday night or not yet, will know tomorrow.

Enjoy! If anyone wants to do it on a Mon-Fri let me know... I'd be up for next week even!

Given the weather in the Elks this weekend, a group of four of us will likely make an attempt on the Needle from the upper TH on Sunday. We will look for you and anyone else heading up. Looks like we will depart from the TH no later than 3 or 4 a.m.

Throwing the bone for the dog I see two passing lights
Well, I wonder where that driver's bound
Is there someone, somewhere, someway out there that I've not found"

@Niel - What a fun climb Sunday! It was good to have someone to chat with on the way to BHP!

Jeff -- Absolutely! Great mountain and a great day. It was very nice meeting you and talking to a fellow pilot on the way to Broken Hand. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip and let me know when you make it back out.

It's a sad story... I'm back at work in Wichita..
I only had Monday off, short 3-day weekday. I had nowhere to go, other than pack up camp and head east.... so I just took my time, soaked in the scenery and wondered when I could do that peak again!Hey, it's flat up here?!

Jeff..Thanks again for the ride down!!!
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.
