After we left the hikers at Glacier Trail, we (Arlene, Seamus, Elizabeth and Stephen) drove up to Sunrise Lodge at Rainier. From there we could look down at where we had left the hikers and could see the glacier above them. For Arlene and I it was beautiful but the dangers were evident. We have been blessed with clear blue skies and each day can see the top of the mountain as we drive about. Today when we woke we could see small clouds clinging to the side that our hikers were on. Throughout the day we have seen increasing cloudiness on that face of the mt. which the hikers are coming down.
Both Arlene and I are amazed at the technology that allows us reassurance of where they are. Yesterday I was amazed when I called Mark and he said he was about to go up in his plane and make a pass at the mountain with his high definition camera. Grace and Katie have even called Matt from their lower camp as they awaited for the other climbers to come back down. We pray for a safe return for everyone and are anxious to hear their stories. We are in awe of Matt's blogging and all this technology. Isn't this better than "American Idol"?
