January 11 - A Rest Day at The Inca Ruins
It’s the 11th of January, the evening of the 11th of January and life is still very good here at Laguna Verde camp. This will be our fourth night here; the hot springs are still great as Dick Jessor can tell you. Life at 14,500 feet continues to make each of us aware that we are at altitude, but also we feel better every day. We are adapting, we are acclimatizing.
Then Grant, Gary and I went up to reconnoiter to check out the route to camp 1. You may not know but a four wheel drive exploring across the desert terrain here is a part of this trip. We checked out the route tomorrow for the vehicles as we’ll be driving up towards Ojos, and it changed from last year the way I remember it, but it’s going to be very doable and we got a good notion of what we’ll be doing tomorrow as we drive up a lot higher and get prepared to climb Ojos.
Donna has great news that she just needs to rest that knee for 2 or 3 days and then resume her activity. Probably means, it does mean that she’s out of the Ojos summit but she’ll still have much to gain from a lot of good exploring and climbing in Chile and Argentina before this BAI expedition is over. We’ll report to you from camp 1 tomorrow. |
