Today we got a nice breakfast in town and headed over to the hanger for a final bit of packing. The weather turned out to be a bit fickle so we started some training to pass the time and our fingers were crossed for improving weather. We went to our lunch break and just when the rain started in town the mountains opened and we got the word we would try to fly on the glacier. We’re finally here at Base Camp and will make our first move early in the morning toward 7,800 camp at the base of Ski Hill. We enjoyed our first dinner as the skies were clearing and caught a glimpse of Denali in the distance!

David, best wishes to you and your team. I’ll be joining Peter and Beth in Anchorage so we can follow your progress together and experience it vicariously from the comfort of a house with real beds. Take care, Beth loves you very much. We kind of like you too. Love, Gigi.
