Nick I can't believe the difficulty all of you endured during that lake tramp. It scared me greatly reading about it . I'm greatful its over and every one made it through with their life. I am also greatful I didn't know about it until after it was over. Please all of you take care. We are ever so proud of all of you and what you have accomplished during your adventures. A little less life threatening adventures sure would lessen my anxiety level abit. We are anxious to hear from you and Andrew again. always- Mom
