Safety Comes First

The guys are definitely taking in the beauty around them, and thankfully sharing it all with us.  MattyRedrock sent this picture yesterday, with a caption: Mt. Moran of the Tetons.  What I find really cool is the ice/snow in that mountain looks like a guitar ~ something both Scarecrow and MattyRedrock love.

He also texted: Coming up to a big climb this afternoon. 9000+ feet. Oof fah.  Crazy, but cool, right?!  

Later in the day, another update from MattyRedrock stated: We got pushed off of the trail to a town called Dubious due to active wildfires surrounding the trail where we are supposed to be.  Had to get a hotel tonight.  The fires are displacing the bears and wolves so camping danger was at a higher level.

Well, we are glad you decided to get a room!  We will continue to keep you both in our prayers for your safety and success during your trip.

Until next time,
