Transcript:
Hello you guys, it's Craig Calonica. It is Friday the 22nd, 8:00 in the evening here in Kathmandu. We've been receiving news that up high it's storming quite heavily and more road washouts are continuing to occur. We will be able to drive to the border and walk through the slid-out portions of the road which will be gentler on our budgets than flying to Lhasa and paying 350 a pound -- when we've got a few thousand pounds. Pretty brutal that way. I am sorry once again for not being able to write any text lately, but it's just from 6:00 in the morning until late in the evening, running around tying loose ends all up together. I will talk to you soon.
— Craig Calonica, Expedition Leader
