Andrew called with quick update at 12:30pm Pacific Time:
“We’re still at Base Camp. We waited all night last night to fly off, but the weather didn’t improve. They got one small plane in, and a few people that have been here for several days got to leave. We did have a nice pasta dinner though! It looks like things are steadily improving, and we hope to fly later today or tomorrow. Looking forward to a big group dinner back in Talkeetna!”
