<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good Morning from the cold, snowy SF Bay
Area,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>All this talk of mountains combined with snow at
such low elevations that I can't go out for a bike ride made me look for reading
material.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This year's Mt Hood book is written by a SAR
doctor, Christopher van Tilburgh, who wrote <U>Mountain Rescue Doctor</U>. It's
a good read, full of characters who make various (stupid) mistakes that I
would like to avoid.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I first saw Mt Hood walking north on the PCT,
I thought it was the quintessential beautiful mountain and remins one of my
favorite.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Enjoy,</FONT></DIV>
