I did not glissade- the snow pack was too hard and I wouldn't have felt comfortable doing it.
I was unable to locate our snowshoes/skis so if anyone will be up in this area soon, would you mind helping us out and finding them? I have the GPS coordinates for our stash as well, but I can't hike because of bad blisters from my AT boots. But it will mean the world to me if you can help us out getting back some of our gear.
Lastly, THANK YOU to everyone who's said prayers- keep praying please.

Well I haven't heard of any new patients coming in, so hopefully that means he made it off without incident. When anyone gets any updates, keep us all posted. I've actually been attached to the laptop awaiting good news. My prayers are still out there.
He who controls the spice, controls the universe.

Hang in there. I know you'll pull through this and we'll all laugh about it in a few days. Boundary will still be here and there's Culebra in June. Les and I are praying for you.
Good job Caroline, way to keep your cool. You did all you could under the circumstances. I know your preparation will help David pull through this.
Hoping for the best,
Bob & Leslie

Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.

Hang in there, the SARS volunteers will get him out.
I don't think that I can get down to Humboldt this week but when you get a chance why don't you post the GPS coordintates of your equipment stash so that whomever can get down there can try to find your stuff.
I haven't met either of you guys but have loved your witty banter over the last year. You did a great job getting out and getting help and I'm sure that the monkey man will be back in pimp purple in no time. Keep positive because the prayers of a lot of people are with both of you.
