Back down to BC boogie
15 May 2005 me-5300
Back at BC safe and sound! Now to begin our rest cycle. Some would say we are late in getting to this point, I say, au contraire! Better to let the 1st wave go and get out of the way, fewer numbers and hopefully better weather. We are down for at least 5 days with oxygen to check, north side to open, and some serious reading and relaxing to do. Piers may go down valley for a day or two to see some green and hug a tree, we will see tomorrow.
Till then, Luis.
