Day 14 – Thursday, July 2nd – The team plans on leaving High Camp later today descending initially to 14,200 and on to 11,000 ft.  They will retrieve their caches, at 11,000 ft camp they will switch back to snowshoes and rest until late this evening.  By stopping at the 11,000 ft camp the team gets a chance to rest and allows the lower glacier snow / ice conditions to firm for safer travel across the Kahiltna Glacier.  When the team leaves the 11,000 camp they plan on going all the way back to the Kahiltna Glacier Base Camp at 7,200 ft.  It’s a long trip with all their gear but at least it’s down hill.  The team will likely fly out of Base Camp tomorrow Friday, July 3^rd and back to Talkeetna. 

In addition to the congratulations due Todd, Dave and Fred it’s also time to thank Ana, Susan and Joan their wife’s, their families and all the friends who have supported the weeks and months of training and preparation that were part of any expedition.  Thank you all……….
