Hello there friends, family and loved ones reporting in not only from Antarctica but also from the base, yes the base of Mt. Vinson. We arrived at Vinson base camp after a short flight in the twin otters from Patriot Hills. Everybody’s spirits were lifted as the plane took off and we got to see the great mountains of the Ellsworth Range as flew backwards and north about 100 miles to find the highest mountains on the continent; (…transmission garbled…) and Mt. Vinson rearing its ugly head high above the horizon. Are paced quickened as we unloaded the plane and thought of nothing but how can we set up our camp quick enough so that we can get some sleep that we missed last night. Before we could do that, Tim, our fearless chef whipped up a passel of hot pea noodle soup that had never been tasted before on Antarctica and some great tasting steaks and everybody went to bed happy and healthy. So say hello to mom, people are in good spirits, ciao for now from high on the flanks of Mt. Vinson.
