Hauling Loads to 10,200 ft

They enjoyed a beautiful day in the Alaska Range today, and got a load of food and fuel cached at 10,200 ft. It was the first really nice weather in the range for the last 2 weeks almost, so hopefully it will stick around for the team. They dropped their cache into a hole they dug in the snow, and returned to camp for the night. Tomorrow they'll pack up camp, and move on up to Camp 2 at 11,200 ft. Jacob got Sat Phone duty, and he said they are having a great time and everyone is doing fine.

    Hey Daddy!

    Great to hear that you had a successful drop...food is good! Speaking of food, I thought I would let you know that I took your advise and tried the triangle flat sandwiches from Dunkin Donuts...you were right! They are great!

    You have a good climb today. Have fun and be safe!

    I love you Daddy!
