| Messages to Family Team 2: Windy Corner - Tuesday, May 21, 2002 » Back to DISPATCHES
Hello everyone it's May 20th, this is Dave Morton with Alpine Ascents second
expedition. It's about 3 o'clock PM and we are standing at Windy Corner
and it's definitely a misnomer today, there's not a breath of wind out here.
We just cached up at 13.5 and we're on our way back down gorgeous day, we spent a long time hanging out at the cache, spending a long time hanging out here at Windy Corner. It's just absolutely remarkable, we've been really thankful for the weather we've been having and everybody's having a great time, everybody feels real strong.
Today I'm going to hand the phone over to a few people who want to send some
messages out. But before I do that, Charlie says hello to everyone, and his
bruise is fine and much better. Brian wants to send his love to Josh and
Deb. And let me pass the phone around and then we will talk to you
tomorrow. Tomorrow our plan is to move on up to 14 and it looks like with
the weather we've been having, we should be able to pull that off. So we'll
talk to you tomorrow and here's the rest of the group.
'Hi this is Ron Farb. I want to wish my wife Diane a happy anniversary, I love you. Doing well, give my love to family and friends and hello to all the kids at PVTD.' 'Hello this is Mike Rossi. I just want to wish my girlfriend Annie well, send her a lot of love. And I'm at Windy Corner at about 13,000 feet feeling strong hanging out with a bunch of great guys. The view up here is great. Feeling strong and all is well so far, love you, take care.' [Most of Conan's brief message inaudible.] 'I will send more good wishes soon' 'This is Ernst Merkhofer, and I just want to say I love Simonia and I am looking forward to seeing her when I get back.' 'Hi this is Ken Bacco, I just want to send my love to Lisa, Matthew, and Laura. I miss you guys so much and I thank you guys so much for letting me go. It's a great adventure, I'm with a great group of people, it's super. I love you all, bye bye.' Alright so we will talk to everyone tomorrow, that's it from the Sunshine Boys at Windy Corner, bye bye. Dave Morton, Alpine Ascents International Guide and MountainZone.com Correspondent |
