John,
Good luck. I wish you a wonderful and successful adventure. It will be amazing. As you know, the 14ers are a one of a kind. From the grand peaks of the Elks and San Juans to the long hikes of the Sawatchs, from the knobby rock of the Crestones to the inspiring Longs, there is so much variety. However, you will see them in a new light during this adventure, a perspective that few have had. No matter what happens, that is yours forever. I wish you clear skies and a hiatus from the lightning. I wish you a hold out sky pilot and a late blooming Indian paint brush, many mountain goats and big horns, and the most awe inspiring of views. You will see so much and experience so much in the coming days. Live it. Treasure it. And, break that record.
Live the Dream,
Cave Dog
