White Mountains

Mark and Sam called yesterday with an update (since Sam hadn't posted anything since Monday, July 19) to let me know everything was going fine.

Mark and Jim Bean met Sam Friday morning and starting hiking. I'm not sure when the reached Mount Jackson - elevation 4016 feet, but Sam said it was the best view so far, but very windy (blew his hat off). They will be looking for ear plugs for their Presidental Mtn. Range hike - wind forecast 50-80 mph winds - but SUNNY! Sunday night they stayed at Nauman Campsite next to Mizpah Hut.

Sam thinks he may have athletes feet - dry and cracked. I think it is probably from the smelly socks.

They had to purchase a new camera - Sam landed on the old one, but the pictures were salvaged.

Mark says it's the hardest hiking he has ever done!!! But the knee is holding - THANK THE LORD!

Sam is having a GREAT time with Dad - Mom is very jealous :(

That's all for now. I'm hoping that the next blog will come from Sam, he does a much better job of it.

Drove through your "hood" today to check on Rob Smith's house and realized: "Hey, I've not had an Rocky updates lately. Figured the Ole Man(Men) were slowing him down so much he couldn't make it to a computer. Glad to hear they're all well. Hopefully that wind will be somewhat to their back. Can't imagine that much wind on the nose. Big Cheers to all of them.
