We moved from 9,800 feet to 11,200 feet today. It is the first time we have felt the altitude when setting up camp. You start to huff and puff at times. We have been hauling full loads (packs and sleds) every day so far, no caching yet. It has been difficult but we are feeling very good. Tomorrow will be a rest day; we will plan our next few moves then. The weather has been wonderful. You couldn’t ask for better. Last night, we had some snow and -5 degree temperatures again. During the day, it has been sunny and beautiful, with a high of around 60.
