Kassi posted your email on Facebook. Glad to hear you are well and treking along. I can't even begin to imagine the scenery and so look forward to seeing the pictures. All is well here at home. Lots of leaves that need raking (yuk!). Jeff was discharged from the hospital last Friday and is recoving nicely. He'll be at Stephen's for a couple of weeks at least. Sue flew back to Los Angeles on Saturday. She hated to leave but had to get back for work. Stay safe and enjoy your journey!

Thinking about and praying for you and your fellow climbers for a safe and awesome sojourn. And, of course wishing I could be there with you all. luv and best wishes

For: Tom U

Tracking you down halfway around the world to wish you a great adventure.......But then you are right in the middle of it already! Some folks will go to any extremes to escape another Planning Board meeting!

For: Damaroo and Soha, Team members

What a wonderful view. And temp. 65 and 40, that is even great. It is what we have here. Soha, thanks for the e-mail, text. Sangita is in town and we had dinner together last night. Now I am waiting for everyone. I will miss you and Jyoti at Heart Walk, but you all are doing what you both enjoy. Take care. Keep good health.

For: Soha and Damaroo

Soha Shah!!! Damaroo Dhur! Can't believe you are climbing a mountain!!! I am on my way to work taking in the spectacular view of this concrete jungle, known to some as NYC, and thinking about how exact opposites our views are at this moment :) Shanks and I are good! We can't stop talking about how perfect everything was at the wedding! We have had so much great feedback - everyone loved the food, the decorations, and the dancing! We are so grateful to you both!!! Love you both!

Hi all: From reading blog feels like know you all-what a special group-adventurous, inspiring, motivated and putting up with Rick :), just spoke with Soha and Damaroo and heard y'all having fun staying in tents, getting freshly cooked meals (not like fast food or frozen microwave cooked meals we have here in USA). Envy you all for being blessed to get a view peak of Everest and having spectacular views-has to be better than IMax. Hope you all have rested up and ready for tomorrow.. Best wishes

For: Rick, Ken & Emily

continuation from my last comment. It looks like it was cut of. Have fun and make sure to take headcounts..haha. Although it's not so bad being left behind because it gives you a chance to get your run in while you're chasing after busses or some other mode of transportation....

For: ED

Hey Ed, I so love the blog that Rick has going. I did not anticipate a daily pic, update, and messages from friends. What should one be reading when up there on the mountain? Enjoy Namche Bazaar!

For: Kemily

Sounds SPECTACULAR :) Love this site too - Have an amazing time LOVE YOU !

For: Tom U

Hi there Tom, We put up Tibetan prayer flags among the trees lining the driveway to honor your trek and wish you well, and then recited some prayers we found at the KTD Monastery. So you have the Buddha as well as all of Woodstock rooting for you. Hope you're having a wonderful adventure. Love, C&L

For: ED

Just can't imagine the beauty surrounding you. Surely glad you were found during the "game of hide and seek"! All is going well. We will keep in touch. Sending our love. Take care and enjoy each moment.

For: Soha/Damaroo

Hey guys! Hope you are having a great time so far and getting some good exercise along the way. Everything is good here...I'm finally getting over the fact both Michigan and the bengals lost this past week, thought you would be interested to know. Have fun with all your new friends, and rick! I'm sure he's hoping for less adventure this time just like all of us. Lots of love, your actual favorite daughter/sister. :)

For: Lise

Good luck mom! Can't wait to hear more about your adventure!

So glad you got there safely! Been thinking of you both daily. So glad your view is "Spectacular". Enjoy every minute and can't wait to see pictures and hear stories! Mari and Steve xoxo

For: Ed

Views look incredible. Gretta is by my side, with Gotto, almost on top of her, as she bathes her and then lifts a paw to play. All else ok. We love and miss you.

For: kemily

Glad you are having a SPECTACULAR experience. Love you.

For: kemily

Just finished dinner after spending the balmy 65 degree (to match yours) day doing yard work and trying to sneak berries. Will try to save some leaves for you to rake so you don't miss the experience. Still miss you.
