What a diverse group we had here this past weekend - you never know who is coming and their stories! That is what is so exciting! From Florida, we had Ron, a mountain climber, but not just any mountain...how about 5 of the world's highest mountains including Mt. Everest! The procedure of climbing these peaks is fascinating. But mountain climbing is not his only interest/ambition. He and his wife, Dianne, have started a non-profit Climb for Cancer Foundation (www.cfc-foundation.org) with June being the "climb" in 50 states with "50 States + 50 Peaks + 1 Goal). What ambitious undertakings they are going for! We all were fascinated with their stories and their goals. His next big climb is just over a year. You can see the climbing on the website.
Ned and Tessa, from The Woodlands, told about their upcoming adventure. Ted is involved by being supportive at home, but Tessa begins a journey of a lifetime June 1st with 3 children, 9, 11, 13 in their 26' RV. No big deal? Oh yes it is. They are going to the Arctic Circle by RV, then all the way down to the Equator in about 11 months' time. Then shipping the RV to Greece and touring Europe, finally flying to China for 1 month where adopted daughter's heritage is. Total time for educational trip? 15 months. Tessa is doing this by herself, but Ned will fly to locations about once a month. We wish them all safe traveling!
Just an ordinary weekend at The Iron Horse Inn. Wow! Come join us!
