Mood:

Cousin Will,
We're still planning on seeing you in Estes Park on July 1st. I'm keeping the hot tub warm for you.
Trail Ridge Road has been closed off and on due to some late spring snows. But I was up there shovelling this morning so it's open now.
I'm filled with admiration for you for taking on this epic journey. It's great that you're still on schedule. I have just one piece of advice for you: watch out for rattle snakes on the road as you cross Wyoming.
See you soon.
Cousin Dick Cross
