Cache Creek!

The team called from near Cache Creek tonight.  They are moving right along and doing great.  They did see a bear up close this afternoon (just to keep things exciting) they stood together, and the bear ran away as is usual.  

Tomorrow they should be on the glacier and at their cache of food and supplies for the remainder of the climb.  The cache was hauled in by dogsled a couple of months ago when snow still covered most of Alaska.

Mike-cheers to the mountain man and his cohorts. Be safe and for god's sake, be daring! We will be thinking of you while sloshing about in the Atlantic and white sand beaches of Hilton Head Island, SC.

Cheers

Lions and Tigers and Bears OH MY! Zach will be thrilled to hear this. I am just so proud of you on this endeavor! I'm not with Steve or Austin - DON'T be daring! God will provide the daring for you and you will just have to be smart and witty in the face of it. I have all the confidence in your ability to meet, appreciate and overcome the challenges! Keep on keeping on! Kasey
