the big climb

Richard, Jim and Jim's dad leave this weekend to climb Mt. Rainier. Our guest room has all of Richard's necessities spread out all over the place, as he started packing last night and figuring out what he has and still needs for the 3 night trip.  Jim has already done the climb, and supplied Richard with a list of all the things he will need to pack...it was a long list!  Please keep them in mind this weekend as they make their journey up to the top. I am really excited for them, but also can't help but be nervous and just want them all the return home safely.  I'll post pictures next week of the trip, I'm sure Richard will capture some awesome photos and views!
