Richard Riquelme called at 5:30pm PST on June 18th with the following dispatch:
“Well everyone, here we are on the Polar Field (??) getting ready to make our way up to 14 Camp. Yesterday was a rest/weather day which makes today a moving day. Everybody is doing great and survived the bad weather yesterday. The wind was blowing pretty hard and we got quite a bit of new snow. It will be a tough day today moving through all that new snow but we’ve got a strong team and I’m confident we’ll make it up to 14 Camp without any problems. We’ve got awesome weather and awesome views right now.”
