Hey Tom --

Please remember -- at least one of the disparagers (me) isn't even hiking this
year!
I'd hate to be (partly) responsible for you abandoning your plan, which might
be 
detrimental to others that are hoping to benefit from your help.

I think people's idea of starting early and slow is a good one.  It would have
benn nice 
to make it to kennedy meadows for the 15th, *and* have time for the
blisters to
heal.
