“Hi everyone. We made a successful and speedy move to Camp 3 at 14,000 feet yesterday. We also enjoyed a thanksgiving-style dinner of mashed potatoes, green beans, turkey and cranberry. Our camp is pretty sturdy and ultra-fortified – it’s looking like some funky weather is coming up and will persist though the next few days.  The Team is taking it easy today and resting up. We had sausage and egg McMuffins (apparently there is a McDonald’s on Denali) this morning. We’ll keep busy doing some fixed line practice and hopefully put in a cache tomorrow. Everyone is doing fine and pretty happy. We’ll call you tomorrow!”
