Hi Everyone! It's Cassandra writing, and I'm so pleased to say that Jason and I have made it through the first section! About 80 miles down to Stehekin! We made the decision to come home for a little bit of time to heal and let the snow melt a little bit more before we head out again! It feels GREAT to be home-alive and loved! We're so encouraged by your comments and thankful again, to Rich for keeping you updated. Your prayers mean so much and have been felt quite literally by us. It's been an unbelievable journey! I'll post our journals and pictures from the last week for you-again it feels so good to be home for a bit...and sleep in a bed ; )
