    We’re back in Houston. We made it to 10,400 feet after significant struggle with sometimes deep, almost always unstable, snow. There were a number of issues and challenges but also a lot of lessons learned. We’re mostly happy with our effort – we definitely gave it everything we had and we learned much from Alan Arnette.

    I’ll post a full trip report Monday. Many thanks to all of you who followed along and offered advice and support. The adventure will continue.
