Just to add to the story. Andy and I met while I was honeymooning with my wife, Celeste (AKA – Ranger Boss Lady – who you’ll meet later up the trail). We had a brief bromance on the Big Isle and then started working together a few months after I got back. That was a few years ago I guess. Now look at all of us Aloha Loving beach bums climbing this mountain together.   <3
