Hello, GreatOutdoors.com, this is Dave Hahn and I'm at Base Camp and today was a pretty easy day for me, I was just packing a little bit. Things are going well for us on the mountain, our latest climbers to summit, Jim and Jan, who started the day at the South Col, moved down to ABC today, safely, and our Sherpa team was able to move everything off the upper mountain, everything is down to ABC or below and we expect to have the mountain cleaned, all our gear, all our stuff, within about two days, and that's pretty exciting for us. Paul and Fiona got down to Base Camp today and they are enjoying the comforts of Base Camp, and we're all eating pretty well and feeling pretty good and relaxing. The weather has been nice, little snow in the afternoon, but warm, and pretty calm, no winds up above. Nice way to wind down the Everest season. There's a lot fewer people in Base Camp but it's still kind of a busy place. I'll let you know how it goes, I'll probably be here another day or two.
