Mt. McKinley: Frank & Team Take a Rest Day at 11K Camp
June 6, 2014 - 9:55 pm PT
Today was a very productive day building red blood cells. We rested at 11,000 camp. After sleeping in, we spent the morning eating eggs, hash browns, and bacon and drinking coffee. We got to know some of our neighbors and packed for our carry to 13,400' tomorrow. Everyone is feeling strong and ready to keep working up hill.
Thanks all for following along with us.

Family- John and I have hardly gotten into any trouble. The guides are great and like us. Today we played football and built snow thrones. I'm having such a blast.
Kelly- I've been thinking about you. We should check out that cliff house restaurant when I get back. Or maybe that white door place on filmore. I've been thinking a lot about food too. Miss you babe!

John—good luck on the climb to the summit. We are all rooting for you down below in the low lands. Tyler left your truck at my house and I might use it a little bit to haul some garbage but don’t worry I’ll take good care of it.

John - We are thinking about you every day my good man. We have been reading the daily posts as a family and I showed the kids where you are at on the map. Looking forward to seeing your cheery face soon.

It’s so good to hear from you, Jesse!! We are on the same page, as always. I’ve already planned the first meal I’m cooking you when you’re back. I miss you like crazy, but I’m so happy you guys are having a great adventure. Take care and stay safe.

John- Are you missing your roomies? I don’t see a shout out. Also, what restaurant are you taking me to when you get back?

It’s very nice to hear from you, Jesse. Knowing how enthusiastic you are, we anticipated you’d have fun. That means, anything is a joy, even the hard work. God keep on your side.
Always thinking of you!
