Yesterday was another good day. “Helicopter Camp†or C2 was reached by the team. Loads were dropped there and the team beat feet back down to C1. Weather remained good with only a trace of snow. Nothing that prevents movement at this altitude. And, forecast still looks reasonable going forward. Later today, we expect to hear word that the team has moved back up to C2 and settled in for the evening. Progress continues to be good with all team members still firing. That’s no small accomplishment, in itself.
