January 25th, 2008

Josh, the first Summiteer to to sign up, writes: I was listening to Matthew West’s new album “Something to Say” yesterday and a song really touched me deep in my soul. I think it applies directly to the mission of Yosemite Summit. We are all so very busy everyday and we don’t take time to [...]
