Mark:
This just makes me wish we had met up last year when you were in Washington. Funny, this past weekend I was at the same general area where we were to meet last year. RimRock lake. Took some nice forest service roads to find some remote sites with very very nice views of the cascades, Mt Adams, and Mt. Rainier. Was just thinking how we were so close, yet so far. I remember you said you had some very good eats that trip. Wish I could have joined you and the fam then. Could have met Edna in person. Would have loved to share some beers.
Sorry for your loss.
God bless,
Dave in Seattle
