  1. Hi, guys! Great to read about your exploits this side of the pond, especially in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. Well done to Cole and t'others who braved the rain on the Cow & Calf. I know that your folks back home, Cole, and all the Saints of James are well proud of you!
    I hope that the rest of your trip goes very well.
