Calonica Acclimatization Practice Done Tuesday, August 19, 1997 (Kathmandu) [Click to hear the sat-phone call.] Transcript: Hello, it's Craig Calonica. It is Tuesday the 19th, and I'm sorry I miscalculated by bad weather out there that I was going to have power when I said I would. A lot of things got washed out and unfortunately there was too much movement and too much rain to really use our solar panels. I'm now in Kathmandu. I have some great stories to tell you. I'll be writing them down this evening and sending them out with some good photos. I'm sorry for the lack of communication recently, but where we were was kind of remote and those things happen. We're actually moving every single day, so the option of using solar power and panels wasn't working too well, and movement and rain as well. Anyway, I will be in touch with you guys from here on out. It's 5pm on Tuesday the 19th and I'll be back. — Craig Calonica, Expedition Leader PREVIOUS UPDATE | UPDATES HOME | NEXT UPDATE
