The days fall from the calendar as if they are kin to the Fall, with that everyday becomes more important than the last and as we get down to the wire our boy Kevin is now on board! Kevin is yet another like minded adventurer who scrolled through the postings on Summitpost and found us. It was to my great pleasure to open up my e-mail and find Kevin had sent me a message to let me know "I'm in 100%" He had been on the fence due to other obligations but is now part of The Snowmelt.
