Hey, this is Dave Hahn at Base Camp on the IMG expedition.. Things are still going good. It was a little bit of a windy day here today, certainly blowing around up on top of the peaks but then it calmed down well enough. Our climbers who are at Camp I were able to make a hike up to Camp II today and go back to I, so they are doing great up there, we had a number of Sherpas make runs to Camp II, in fact one of our Sherpas went in four and half hours with a load round trip from base camp to Camp II today, so that's a pretty amazing time. I'm getting a little better from my cold, and Larry is getting stronger each day getting used to this new altitude and so we'll be working our way into the icefall in the next couple of days. It was nice to see a couple old friends appear today, saw Michael Brown, Michael is making an IMAX film, and we'd worked together on other expeditions... Saw guy cotter come in from Adventure Consultants, that was good to see. And more teams coming in every day still. Our weather forecasts is for calmer conditions in the next couple of days, we're looking forward to that, it's been blowing a lot lately, but it's supposed to calm down. So all is well at Everest Base Camp. Bye for now.
