According to Mike’s SPOT page, he is at 14k camp today.   The tracker suggests that they moved up there two days ago and returned to 13k to pick up their cache yesterday.   They will probably take a rest day today and try to put a cache up on the 17k ridge on the next good weather day.  This is the point of the trip where the waiting game begins!  

Following Mike is causing me to relive my trip.  And it is making me miss the mountains.   Is it possible to be homesick for a place that you only lived for 18 days?   I miss Talkeetna, the tent life, the freedom of not having a daily schedule, the feeling of self-sufficiency, the humility that the mountains impose on you….. 

ahh…. time to start planning my next adventure!
