Hi, John:
Congratulations on your first Cactus to Clouds! I'm glad that you made it safely to the peak and back and that you were also able to get a ride back to the Museum. I really enjoyed hiking with you -- you're a lot of fun, and I admire your enthusiasm for the outdoors.
As I mentioned to you during the hike, I usually run Skyline (in a few hours, on a so-so day, and with ten breaks), but since you and Cy looked as though you needed company, coupled with the fact that I was operating on only three hours of sleep, I thought I'd take it easy, give you guys some company, and, well, enjoy the scenery, which I never really noticed before, given the lightning-fast speed at which I run the trail (inside joke).
Again, congrats and I look forward to hiking with you and Cy again soon--perhaps on a Friday.
By the way, next time—for sure—we’ll have chilled lemonade waiting for us at Flat Rock, along with breakfast of our choice.
