Follow the orange dotted line to Camp 1 - Mt. Bona, AK
Guide Sheldon Kerr called in at 3pm AKDT. Â All is well! Â The group moved to Camp 1 today and is now occupying it. Â This is great progress for the team and they are now in a good position to take a rest day or scout the route to the next camp as weather allows. Â Sheldon reports that the weather deteriorated slightly as the day progressed, but it stayed warm – about 25 degrees F. Â (25 degrees on the glacier does not sound very warm but it makes for a hot hiking day on the glacier with lots of solar radiation off the snow.) Â Visibility decreased to very little due to spitting snow as they continued onward, but they made camp easily with the route marked from the previous day. Â It was a hard day for all – the first day with heavy packs, but the group pulled it off well. Â They can now enjoy the fruits of their efforts and rest up for the next push.
Sheldon passed on a request from  Cree  to send out a big Hello to Quest and Whippoorwill!
All for now.
