Well, departure day is upon us. The weather isn’t quite as bad (yet) as predicted, our plane is on its way and for the moment looks imminently flyable. Our bags are packed and should qualify for check-in size, and with any luck TSA will allow us to carry our hiking poles and tent stakes as well. If we get out …

First leg complete. We made it out of Dutch, where the weather was in Shari’s words “marginally shitty” all day, on time all the way to Seattle, and when we arrived… We got our bags! Thank you, Hermee and PenAir!
