This morning I said good to Sam and Melissa one more time. This time for good, for this trip.

I spent two nights with them. Long enough to go to the river for an afternoon of R&R and to spend some time on a rope.

We ended our evening with a little ceremony. I loaned them some money to buy Green Climbers Home. After being there and seeing how amazing the place, and them running it feels, I forgave the remainder of the debt. We burned the “note” together.

Was the best moment of my trip so far. 💕
