Jim, Loretta, Willi and Justin ready to go (Justin Merle)
Landing at Kahiltna Base Camp (Eric Simonson)
Chief Guide Justin Merle called to report that his Custom Denali Team were loading up the TAT Turbine Otter and would soon be on their way to 7000 feet at Kahiltna Base Camp. The weather looks good today, so we are hopeful they will get into BC without any issues. This is our second of four Denali expedition teams to launch.
We also heard  this morning from Andy Polloczek that his Team 1 moved up to Camp 1 yesterday near the Northeast Fork of the Kahiltna at about 7800 feet. They are all doing well. Team 3 is traveling to Talkeetna today.
