Legs Miserable Takes a Rest Day at 11 Camp

 

Hi this is Evan with team Legs Miserable, giving the May 25 update. We are 26th, excuse me May 26. We are currently in the snow globe(?) here at 11,000 Foot Camp. We’ve got about a foot of the fluffy white in the past 16 hours and with the wind forecast of 35 kn we decided to trade carrying loads for a rest day. French toast, cheese sandwiches, soup pasta, reindeer sausage, and plenty of sleeping bag time are good for the body mind and soul. Tomorrow we will carry loads around windy corner and set ourselves up for the move to 14 camp, stay tuned for more.”

Julia was clearly on the same wavelength because just a few weeks before, […]
