Descending to basecamp

We've recieved four satellite phone calls from Pi today, and every one of them has been dropped before we could really talk. The team is on the lower glacier heading to basecamp, and they are motivated to make the plane tonight if everything lines up and travel proves to be agreeable. We're standing by here in Anchorage to launch the van to Talkeetna, but are waiting to see what Pi's plan is- many teams appreciate a night in Talkeetna to adjust to civilization before jumping back into it. Most of you reading this may know when the team reaches town before we do as cell phones get turned back on and everyone reestablishes contact with their loved ones. Good luck to the expedition on this final leg of the journey, and hope for good weather for flying.
