It started snowing when we went to bed last night and it did not stop until we woke up this morning. We have made such good time so far, so we decided to take a weather/rest day today. It turned out to be a great decision since it turned into a whiteout and began snowing again by midday. We made a half day out of making breakfast quesadillas and hanging out in the cook tent. I am not really sure where the rest of the day went! We are sitting in the sun as of dinner, so I expect we will be able execute our cache plan tomorrow.

Sounds like it’s been smooth sailing so far! I’m giving updates all the time, thanks for the blog. No snow in the Midwest—hot first day of summer, and the corn is as tall as I am! Tell Brian I planted more, weeded the garden, and gave the critters all some love. You’ve got fans in Iowa, Texas, Hawaii, Japan—you are all in our thoughts. Judi

Whiteout sounds scary to me. I am glad you stayed put and took no chances, besides it is Father’s Day weekend and you deserve a day of rest! You are in our thoughts and prayers. We have gotten messages from Doug, but the reception (I guess) has not been strong enough to allow conversation. We get a message, but no phone ring. We got the message, the Father’s Day greetings, and that was enough. Good to know you are well! Our love to you all and very best wishes. Chris and Lee
