A Big Step Taken

This week we reserved our seats on the plane from Talkeetna to basecamp with Talkeetna Air Taxi. The flight is about 30-45 minutes, and we will be transported in a single-engine plane. The descriptions of this flight are exciting. It should be a fun flight.

We are currently working to complete our four-person expedition team by filling the fourth slot. Also, gear purchases continue. Hours and hours of study on the internet can reveal great deals--you just have to be willing to put in the time.

I will be writing a column for my hometown newspaper about our expedition. I am not sure when the first installment will run, but I hope to publish several columns before we leave and then send back a few from the mountain as well as after the climb as well.
