Everest Base Camp Trek: Tucker & Team Arrive in Lobuche
Mark Tucker calling from Lobuche. I'm leaning up against the window to try and get some reception. Can you believe it? We have no wifi, I so apologize. The team is doing well, we're bunking down. We're going to push up to Gorak Shep tomorrow. Had a great hike from Pheriche today. Boy we have really starting to feel like we are up, up, up. So, thin, thin air and getting thinner. Tomorrow marks the 65K endurance race coming from Gorak Shep. And so we are going to root some of these folks on that we've been parallel over the course of our trip. We'll be glad to see them, but I am not too jealous of them running from Gorak Shep to Lukla in a matter of hours. I kinda like what we are doing, so we'll check in again later.

Happy Easter Elsie! I feel like I should be writing “there goes Peter Cottontail. Hoppin’ up Mt Everest’s trail…”, but the air seems a little thin fur hoppin’ right now -ha!
Easter blessings and safe journey to all :)

Want to wish all of you a very Happy Easter. God bless each and everyone of you. Will be thinking of you tonight Billy. I am going to an Easter Vigil at St. Raphael’s. where we went when you came to visit me a couple of years ago. Sue and Gerry, I take my hat off to you for keeping up with your great guys.

Tuck!
How’s it going? Kim and I have been reading our journals from last year’s trip each night and reliving some of the highlights. Oddly, you’re in a lot of them.
Looks like you’re taking great care of your team - as always. I hope they appreciate how lucky they are to have you as their guide.
I would warn them against starting up a game of Gin with you as I think we ended our trek with me owing you something in the neighborhood of everything I own. (Thanks for not collecting on the debt. :-))
Are you there all season again? When you get back to the Seattle area we would love to see you. Dinner’s, on me.
