“Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless in facing them.” – Rabindranath Tagore
NOTE FROM THE EDITOR: We tried to see the Aurora last weekend. It didn’t work. But we at least enjoyed a beautiful, clear night from up high. If it’s the last night I spend high in the mountains this year, I won’t be disappointed.
On another note, this will be my penultimate SAC Newsletter. I’m leaving some small (and probably stinky) shoes to fill. If you’re interested in taking over, please let me know with any questions!
Cheers!
