It's Goodbye

Ahh. The culmination of a semester is knocking. Jon and I haven't been spending as much time in the 4 Runner as we would have liked. It is hard to want to sleep in there when freezing rain has had it's way with your blankets and sleeping bag. We didn't know the extent of the damage until two days ago. There is literally a sheet of ice covering the back of the 4 Runner. The sleeping quarters have been rendered in-hospitible. Our friend Jacob has been more than hospitible. Overall, I would say that the semester was a success. I know that there were doubters, haters per say. Jon and I got it done though.
I would like to throw a shout out to our friends at ISU who are going to attempt the same feat. It was worth it in the end. Jon and I only had to suffer through 3 weeks of winter. You ISUers are gong to go at it in the heart of winter. Just know that cold feet can only slow a man down. Frosty windows can only temporarily construct your vision. Frozen food will eventually thaw. Sleeping bags though frozen will eventually warm. You guys can do it and we have total faith. Good luck.
