They may move to high camp today, but were waiting to see how the weather looked and how everyone feels after yesterdays climb. They are getting close...

14,000 ft Camp on Denali
The team carried their last loads yesterday to the ridge at 16,500 ft. They didn't have much to carry, as they were only caching a couple of days worth of food and fuel, so this hike serves more as an acclimitization hike. They did great, and the weather was pretty nice on the upper mountain for most of the day. Everyone is still doing really well, and they are getting excited to see the top of the mountain. The views get better every step of the way.

Hi Mikey,
This is Jordan. I love you. Do you see the moon at night? Can you touch it? Are the stars pretty? Can you touch them too? I am spending the afternoon with memere and pepere and we are watching the Red Sox game. I like the Red Sox, do you? I'm a Red Sox fan. It is hot today. I like you Michael and I have a surprise for you when you come to visit. My sister likes you too. I'm giving you kisses and hugs, Jordan (written by Tante Ann as dictated by your 4year old cousin.)

I'm sure you'll have lots to share with us when you get back. Can't wait to see your face! You're a bit closer and now you prepare to summit. WOW!! We are all praying that the weather will be calm for the next couple of days. We are holding you closer than ever in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. God bless and be safe Michael. Our best to all of you. We love you! Your family in Maine! May my hugs keep you warm and my love keep you safe. Mom XXXOOO

Hello Michael,
One of the Radiologist kept your Website on all day so I could check if there were any updates. Haven't heard anything so I can only imagine this was a very busy and long day for all of you. Hope you are resting tonight. Tomorrow you will be attempting to summit and all of you will be in our thoughts and prayers. We wish all of you the best! Know that as you climb we also climb with you. Be safe! God Bless! Michael, we hold you close in our hearts.
We love you!!
Your family in Maine,
Mom, Dad, Matt, Pepere, Grampy and all your Uncles, Aunts and cousins
Hi Mikey:
Your mom sent me this link to your website, you must be having a wonderful time. Jay and I and of course the kids are very proud of you, you are following your dreams and for that you should be proud, you won't live with any regrets. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and please come by when you get back to show us your beautiful pictures. We love you and are more proud of you than any words could ever say. Reach for the stars, and the moon, have a wondeful time and God Bless You and your fellow climbers! Enjoy this climb of a lifetime, we are always behind you (well, no actually physically behind you, you will not catch me climbing a mountain anytime soon), we are behind you in spirit and you are in our hearts.
Love your cousin Kristi in Maine
and her family.
