James,
You whetted our appetite for such magnificent ice field views last year
here. This picture brings us a wide angle view of the scene with the feeling of separate families or groups of friends forming an ad hoc community with no doubts carry-over memories from year to year.
No doubt, people look around and note that Jim and Conan are not around this year. Did you hear that Conans's son was over in Afghanistan and came back pretty stressed out.
