Rain, constant rain, today. We attempt to depart at noon to pickup Nik’s incoming flight, but a mechanical failure prompts the use of a backup vehicle if we are to come even close to our schedule. Rain turns to snow as we near the summit. By the time we arrive and find Nik waiting during the half-hour delay, all is clear and bright. Again we slog through rain and snow and fog during the return, but this time we have Nik to regale us with stories of his past few days with his friends. And at the close of the afternoon, safely back home: a rainbow.
