Hi Mountain Zone, it's Todd. We're in Base Camp. We couldn't fly out yesterday because of bad weather, so we waited. And the rest of the group that's flying in waited in Akureyri, and we stayed out here on the ice. The weather's great today, and we believe the plane's in the air.
Wally and I flipped a quarter, and it looks like Wally's going to stay on the ice this trip. And the weather's beautiful right now; we're having a great trip.
You know, a few things happened today...Wally's tooth fell out, and we stuck it back in with some [inaudible]—my first operation. Wally was a very amicable patient [laughter].
Life is good. We look forward to getting to town and getting a bath and meeting the next group when they come out. Take care. Talk to you soon. Bye, bye.
