Final Client Expedition For 2010
A new group of clients began their expedition with Joe and the team yesterday.
They are traveling a different route in order to avoid all the open water and overflow on the major rivers. The snow conditions are nice for skiing, so the clients are gliding around on the hardpack. But, the dogs are hauling quite a load and are still breaking through the snow up to their chins, so Joe is breaking trail in snowshoes in front of the team.
The weather is quite warm. It was probably about 35 Fahrenheit today, well above freezing. What remains of the hardpack is deteriorating rapidly. Joe suspects it will cool off again, allowing for easier travel.
