Roof leaks - gotta replace it. Took all month, a month of the most fantastically nice Southeast mountain weather in remembrance. Of course, it rained a monsoon while I was nailing shingles. 4 inches of snow fall the night I arrive. Mountains get first blast of warm spring weather, temperatures near 70.
Mom forgets to come.
So, I've decided to offer a service to climbers everywhere. Just check with me first . If I can get away, you'd better cut some firewood, clean out the gutters, and secure the storm shutters. On the other hand, If I've got to work, have family obligations, or need to be in town for some reason, expect the best trip you've had in ages. At least do me the favor of sending a trip report.
