Today the team reports a partial rest day with the decision to camp early after
17.4 kilometers and seven hours of skiing. They had overcast skies and warm
temperatures around -12 F.
Bob, in his detailed audio report, talks
about the routine of skiing each day. He tells how they break their day
into four 6 kilometer marches. In one day he estimates a goal of 50,000 steps.
That’s a lot of steps!
We have received a number of birthday wishes for
Bryony and we plan to text them to the team tomorrow. From Bob’s audio report it
sounds as though they might be planning a rest day tomorrow. The chance to sleep
in would be a present that everyone would likely enjoy!
The
team’s position today is S 84.19.36, W 85.44.83. Make sure to listen to Bob’s
audio report and check back again tomorrow for another update from the ice!
