I did not find the dental floss in the sign-in box. That I brought with me, at the request of my hygienist. She has a collection of flossing adventurers. Tim was awesome…just a walk in the park for him. The journey took us nine hours to reach the summit. That’s longer than we expected, and longer than the…

Which can also add to the slovenly state of the camp sights,…
