Ok. Many have asked why I'm not posting about the Climbers on Mt. Hood. So here goes.
About five minutes ago I watched the Blackhawk land at the port and the body of Kelly James removed and put in an Anderson's van.
I can't tell you how sad it is to see the Family trying to hang on given the news, that like an onion, peels off to a more somber mood. I walk past them on the street, they are around town and have been for a week. I've wathced the copters go up and down, heard reports of climbers, volunteer searchers, and our staff. I Feel Awful.
Joe, his staff, the Crag Rats, everyone has been doing an amazing job. Amazing. I suppose that we will get an update tonight at the Meeting, but I personally fear that all is lost, and my sympathies go out to the families.
I'm not going to post any photos of this weekend. Hood River, however has so much beauty, and alot of pain. Everyone knows that I think it's a rare place to be, but this is one of the downsides to living in a place of such beauty.
My condolences to the families. Please know that Hood River is with you now.
