Angela called in with a dispatch at 11:30pm on May 26th:
“Hey everyone! This is Angela calling on behalf of Team 4 and we had a very excited day today. This morning we found out that about half of the group had never had beef jerky or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Amazing, I know! Well, we had that exact thing for lunch and we received rave reviews of our fine American cuisine. In other news, we had a spectacular day moving from Camp 1 to Camp 2. It was clear blue skies and gorgeous views. It was a fair temperature today, too — not too hot and not too cold. After getting settled into camp, we had some spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner. We concluded it was good we had all that garlic to ward off the glacier donkies. Tomorrow we plan to do a back-carry. Everything going very well so far! We’ll call back and try to catch you guys for some messages. Talk to you soon!”
