Jerry, thanks so much! That's a great report. I'll need to get some of our photos uploaded and write a little.


You guided us on a paddle that was unforgettable. It was a great tribute to Phil. It was wonderful to know that we stood, ate, and slept where he did, and that we saw some of the beauty he was able to experience.

Unique. Even better having two reports on the same trip. (DragonWolf).
warm fuzzies all around.

So very nice of you Jerry. Someday I will visit that site, even if for an hour or two. I am sure Phil's spirit is there, and it will touch those of us who visit. Thanks buddy.

A very kind and touching gesture. I'm glad that his family had the opportunity to reconnect with him. Thank you for helping to give them that opportunity.
