Yep. My friend Juya said she'd visited Ed last Saturday. I didn't realize she was heading up there, or else I'd have asked her to bring him down, but oh well...he's got a great view for a winter bivy.

I visited Ed on Columbia last weekend, and brought him home so that he can travel to a new peak next weekend. It'll probably be somewhere in the Chelan Sawtooths, so he can enjoy the larches. It's a beautiful register. It literally brought tears to my eyes reading it, seeing the love and respect that so many friends and family had for him.

The EMTSRM is now on Mt. Bigelow in the southern Chelan Sawtooths.

BUMP! I'm not sure of what the conditions are like on Mt. Bigelow at this time, but I wanted to put this on everyones radar, so they could start thinking in terms of getting Edd back on the move again.

After retrieving Edd off of Bigelow last Sunday morning, I took him with me up Switchback Peak later the same day before heading down to Cooney Lake and eventually home. I didn't want to keep him cooped up in a non-mountain environment too long, so I took him with me this afternoon for a post World Cup hike. He is now a bit closer to the masses, enjoying a little bit of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness on Granite Mountain (I-90). If you want to retrieve the register, PM me and I'll describe where I left him and even send a photo if I can figure out this photo posting stuff. It should be fairly easy to find, but I didn't want to leave it out in the open either. Notes: There are only 3 or 4 blank pages left in the notebook. Also, the writing on the outside of the register has faded a bit.

I wonder if ole Edd-man is getting a kick out of this?

GeoTom, Thanks for picking Edd up and getting the "EMTSRM" back on the move again. Hit, Glad to see you keeping Edd on the move. I'll be curious to see where he'll end up next. Will you relabel the tube with a black Sharpie. Just write "Ed Miller's Traveling Summit Register Memorial" and add nwhikers.net. I sincerely encourage any member to champion one of Edd's last request by spreading his remains across the mountain tops of the Cascades. In doing so, we Honor Edd and that connection we all share with each other, our memories and stories of Edd, our passion for mountaineering, and the natural world around us. Please help in celebrating the Life of Ed Miller and make this real.

Oh wow... you are too late for the tissues. I read through Ed's register last night until 2am. I was bawling my head off. It does touch me dearly. I do want to mention that there are now only three pages left on the original. I am sure the family would love to have before a new one is started. I plan on posting my condolences when I write up the trip report.
I think most everyone who has read the many stories and messages have had the same experience. Clearly the feelings we share with each other have no boundaries and gives us all the more reasons to share ourselves with each other to our greatest abilities. In regards to the register only having 3 pages left, I never gave it any consideration as to what to do once the register was filled. In creating the "EMTSRM" it was most important to include the family members messages in the beginning of the register, as their perspective added great insight as to the character of who Ed was and his relationship with them and his friends. I feel that at this time that these messages should always continue with the traveling of the "EMTSRM". I think that scanning the contents and posting them in the wiki would be the most appropriate thing to do. I would suggest that anyone in the future, that has the time and ability to please feel free to do so. Thanks in advance. If there are any other considerations at this time, please feel free to share them now. NOTE: It has been brought to my attention that the film container that housed Edd's remains is missing from the "EMTSRM" tube. I'd like to find out what happened to his remains, can we back track and find out where, when, and why the container disappeared. In the mean time I'll try an reach Rick (his Brother) and see if there is more of Edd to be spread across the Cascades. "Namaste"

I agree as well, I missed my opportunities to meet and travel with Edd on a number of occasions, but though the words of others I've come to know what a wonderful Human-being Ed was and am humbled to be a part of this celebration of a Man who meant so much to the many people he had shared his Life with.

I have added more pages to the register. I can certainly scan them from the printer at work during my lunch hours this week. Not a problem at all. Is there any way to post a PDF file on this site? It would be the easiest way. If not, I could convert the file into another format I am sure.

Good for you, HiT! up.gif up.gif I might recommend uploading the PDF to scribd.com, and then we can embed the Scribd viewer here. Naturealbeing -- Ed's remains were missing when we picked him up on Hinman. He'd been up there a solid year at the time and the travelling register was being used as an official register in lieu of the official Mountaineers' one.

Thanks Mike... I started part of it today after work but of course some of the pages cannot be completely read because they are fading. For the most part, it is readable though! up.gif I am just glad that I am able to be a part of it. I know years later but still. It is very moving. I do the same thing with my mother's ashes so it kind of hits home for me.
