Gee, that story about the scouts had a familiar ring. I'll have to share my stories some time but I like the way you put the two events back to back in your storytelling. Dayhiking Kings is a nice accomplishment and you truly deserved a great big huge hamburger on the way home.
Again, you're style of writing is great. And, I agree with Dean; you put them both together in a very enjoyable way. Yep, you never know what you're going to get when you take those boys out of their elements for a few days. My trip with my scouts back in 2007 was successful. We got everyone one the summit except two. But, I can say yours was successful too, becuase of the way you let them decide. Way to go man!
Thanks. Congrats on getting the bulk of your 2007 group to the summit - not easy to do as I now realize. Perhaps there's room in the budget for sherpas next year...
I really enjoyed reading these 2 stories, and again, nice job incorporating the two together. Hiked it once last year with my son, getting ready to take my son and wife up there next week! Reading this got me more stoked to get the trip underway. Thanks for sharing!
