Rest Day....Finally

Hi Everyone

It appears that April and Bobby took a much needed rest day.  Hopefully they were able to recharge their batteries.  In reading the itinerary and other blogs about this climb it sounds like this is where all the fun starts.  In reading the weather I thought it was interesting that tomorrow it is going to be close to 100 degrees here in CT and where April and Bobby are it will be close to Zero.....not factoring in the wind chill.  I bet I will wish I was with them tomorrow when I am sweating.  Rest up climbers!!
