Sea LionDATE:  Nov 19

LOCATION: Beagle Channel,  El Fin Del Mundo,  The end of the world

We are as far you can drive south in our hemisphere.  Incredible day.  We spent the morning with the dogs and sheep.  Amazing how they worked the sheep.  Here at Ushuia as you can see, we are sending this from the top of a boat in the channel . Great weather!

Un bien viaje.  Good trip this will be our last post.  Friday we head back to Buenas Aires.  Then Saturday night we fly over night.

Thanks for following and drop us a note at info@packpaddleski.com to come with us next time.

Hello out there. We are now waiting to fly back to Buenas Aires, All are well, hit two great days of weather on the Beagle channel at the end, Thanks to you who viewed and hopefully we will see you with us some day, somewhere in the world and your friends can follow you vicariously. Ate some great king crab last night, chatted with a chinese crew visiting by ship and on the way to Antartica, talked with some Malaysians, all in the fun of traveling at the end of the world.

Be sure to barter, barter, barter nothing more than half of the asking price. Enjoy some ugali while in town. Could someone bring back some banana peel pictures for a JOS fundraiser? Tom the skullit guy

I'm not sure I'm in the right place to say "Hi" and best of luck on your climb! You are an inspiration to all of us and you always make your Mom and Dave SO VERY PROUD. Have a wonderful climb.....be amazed with His creation and your wonderful opportunity to experience it. I am praying for your whole group and this adventure of a lifetime. YOU GO GIRL!

Hi Friends

To start- woot, woot! You made it and have begun an amazing journey. You all rock. Hope all is well there as it is very blah and gloomy here in NY.
Nicole- thought of you this morning while I was putting on my make-up this morning and had a good little chuckle to myself. We'll get you all glammed up when you come back!
Sadie- I miss you cell mate! Neil has been keeping me company and although he is wonderful it is not the same.
Wish you all the best and thinking of you.
And side note...I believe I need to meet Liz and Meg when you get back. Their friends leave some crazy messages! My kind of people : )

By now you have all realized Rick is crazy... yes I am afraid to say he is ... he is no doubt reading this with a strange theatrical voice:)! I am sure you have all had some soup (that was my favorite part of dinner:) and have seen some amazing views. If Yusuf has not sang for you yet he will. The friendship bonds and memories you are making this week will last your lifetime.. and after this adventure if anyone tells you that you can't do something.. just remember you climbed kili you can do anything! I have you all in my prayers for an easy summit. jo

THE WALL

cflanigan — Fri, 02/19/2010 - 21:41

Hello all,

If I am right, you are either looking at "the wall" or maybe just have climbed it. WOW how cool. Are you loving the porters, and humbled by their strength and service yet? Watch Rick, he seems to get stronger each day, and yes he is a bit crazy!

Enjoy the rest of the climb, it goes fast from here on out. You folks have touched many back here. I hear it daily and amazed by this. For every 1 note you receive I bet there are 5 people who are "following" this trip by simply watching you on the news, and waiting for your return. It is amazing what you are doing to help so many! Thank you one and all!

Hi Elizabeth

Ha! Joann just reminded me of Rick's voice as he reads your nightly messages. Watch out! He may send a message that he CLAIMS is from you, and uses language you'd NEVER use, Dude!
Take it all in, every moment of it. This mountain climb will be a highlight forever!
Have an easy summit, if you can.
Love, Phyllis (and Marty too)

Brian

we're all so proud of you. The mountain man would be proud too. We miss you and can't wait to see you. Love Mom and Dad

Hey Elizabeth

Your dad texted me this AM with the news. Good going girl!!!! I sent word of your accomplishment to my family relatives and I'm getting replies of "great" and "awesome". Take in that rarefied air and pat yourself on the back and walk tall back down the mountain - we're so proud of you. Personally, I got a huge lift from what you did. Paldies. Uncle Oj

Happy Birthday Nicky
