They did so this morning, exactly on schedule with our capable partners Talkeetna Air Taxi doing the flying. A nice cache was established at base camp, and the team is hopeful of reaching the southeast fork of the Kahiltna Glacier tonight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/team2019-talkeetna.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[22362]\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-22363\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/team2019-talkeetna.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/team2019-talkeetna.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/team2019-talkeetna-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/team2019-talkeetna-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/team2019-talkeetna-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/team2019-talkeetna-940x705.jpg 940w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/team2019-talkeetna-620x465.jpg 620w, https:\/\/mountainguides.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/team2019-talkeetna-195x146.jpg 195w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>More posts to follow as the team is able to check in either via the inReach system we use or via the satellite phone the team carries.
