They are in good company at this camp right now, we have 2 other Mountain Trip groups there right now, as well as lots of other teams. They'll probably be obsessing over the weather forecasts, but we like to say that the forecast is for entertainment purposes only, and not a decision making tool. The forecast is posted on a board next to the Park Services tents, and climbers watch it constantly as if they could wish the weather away if they just try hard enough.
Jared just got back to the house in Anchorage, after leaving Camp 3 less than 24 hours ago. He's still coughing and feeling pretty crappy, but he's back to the lowlands with lot's of extra oxygen where he can get better.
Happy Father's Day, Jack. Enjoy some hot chocolate in the chalet, watch some of the U.S. Open in front of the fire, and get yourself something nice in the gift shop. Love you- Geoff
ReplyDeleteHi, Jack! Sounds like you are chillin' in the heights! We are scorching in TX but look forward to hearing that you have reached the top of the mountain! I spent the night with Carolyn at the lake on Saturday and we had a great time! Comfy bed! See you soon, my friend! Melynda
ReplyDeleteSallie, my Homer, Alaska friend, who's following the expedition wonders if the groups at 14,000 feet felt this morning's 5.3 earthquake that struck near the town of Willow?
