Andrew called at 3:05 PST on 6/29 with the following dispatch:
This is Andrew calling form team 8 and we are back in Talkeetna! Three
hours ago, we were sitting on the glacier, some were sleeping, some were
playing frisbee, some were playing Uno. Then we got a 10 minute
warning that the plane was on it’s way, so we had to pack up quickly and
get the heck out of there. Three planes showed up to take everyone from
Teams 7 and 8 and all the remaining gear from the season.
I’m sitting
here now and it’s a nice sunny day in Talkeetna, and everyone is getting
things sorted with their travel and lodging before parting ways.
Everyone from the two teams are all meeting up for dinner and we’re
going to take Talkeetna by storm! We are all looking forward to food
that doesn’t come out of a bag (or eventually go back in one, for that
matter!)
Thanks to all of you for rooting us on and giving your support along the way, and we will be
home soon!
