All Journal Entries

I'm starting at Springer Mountain in 2 weeks. Planning on keeping a blog on Trailjournals.com . For the last couple of days I haven't been able to view the site. Is anyone else having this problem? If I can't find a solution, may have to come up with a backup plan. Thanks for any info in advance

Even if a helicopter arrives it is not certain that they will be able to pick up the caller - I highly recommend this winter rescue story on Rosalie Peak in Colorado: http://www.summitpost.org/rescue-on-...19-2011/701157
