Scope Trekkers return from Morocco - Climbing Mt Toubkal

I will find some time to write a more thoughtful note to everyone as soon as i can, but, for the moment, I just wanted to send a quick note to all my friends from across the pond. Simply stated, I had a wonderful time. You are all the best & I miss everyone of you.
