Hope are all acclimating well and enjoying your rest day. We enjoy hearing about your progress. Now the entire Nativity Elementary school is following your progress and cheering you on. The Hoedl kids give an update at daily announcements. Hope the weather continues to hold and push up to Camp 2 goes well.
Lee - a personal note - Mr Rustad had a severe heart attack this past Saturday. Life support is being removed this afternoon. Our community is certainly very sad and in mourning today. I thought you would want to know so you could add your prayers from on High. Facebook is active with Alumnae trying to collect all the stories of the Mr. Rustad Senior Pranks over the years.

To the Norwegian in the group. Have fun toiling away in that freezing climate, tomorrow it is my turn to shut off civilization, but I crave the tranquil heat….. It’s only a matter of time before I am lounging by the pool with a drink in my hand
So far everything under control so no need to hurry back.

Let the adventure continue! Hope the climb to Camp 1 went well and you are all safe and sound. The kids are enjoying the daily blog updates and taking them into their 5th grade classes at Nativity Elementary in Fargo ND- so you have 50+ 11 year olds cheering you all on every day! All my love to Lee - so proud of you each and every day!
