Richard Riquelme called June 26th at 9:39pm PST with the following dispatch: Howdy Howdy, this is Richard and team 7 at 14,200 feet. We had a window to move down and we took it.

I have a lot of people here who want to send some messages home.

It’s Andrew May from weather my favorite thing.

Jeremy Here: Well this is the bigger part that counts but I’m not sure the crew are convinced

Greg Olsen to family: Tumbled down from 17,200 to 14,200, literally, but we’re on our way back.

From Guy to Katy: The weather window you talked about sadly occurs to us is closed.

From John Millhouse to Karen: The first prize went to somebody else this time. But we’re down safely and missing you very much. Message to Zach: good luck on your big competition night.

Okay that’s it that’s all. I’ll call you tomorrow on office time. Hopefully you guys have good things for us and hopefully we will be able to fly out.
