A bolt of lightning at the Chicago airport yesterday. The plane we were to board had to be diverted. This caused a minor delay. In Portland now. My body clock is still E.S.T. It was 3:30 a.m. when my eyes opened, ready for the day. My climbing friend Thomas Lizzio has come with me to see me off today and for that I thank him. He will do some climbing in the Pacific N.W. over the next 5 days while he is here.
Here is the description of today's itinerary:
