Comings and goings

The beloved son went off into the mountains with a friend who prefers to do mountaineering as opposed to rock climbing. They are safe climbers, and good route finders, so I am hopeful they'll return safely and unharmed. He said they wanted to do two peaks in the area, which is over on the eastern side of the Cascades. It's always interesting to hear about their exploits upon their return.
Off for a salmon dinner with friends, and always good conversation.
