I woke up a little earlier than the past two days, but still slept pretty well. We gathered for breakfast and enjoyed some English Muffins with cream cheese and bacon. Everyone was itching to exercise, but we couldn't expend too many calories due to our food situation. Kai suggested we build an igloo, so Zach and I gladly joined in like two little kids on a snow day. Overall it took about three hours to craft our shelter. The inside was warm and well protected from the elements. We toasted our accomplishment with some of Zach's Bourbon and Led Zeppelin.
Later that afternoon, we got word that one of the AMS teams was on their way down from 11,200ft camp. The best thing about teams coming down off the mountain is that they want to get rid of any weight they could, and that includes food. This team just happened to have some salmon and mac n cheese available. We happily cooked it up for them and everyone enjoyed a well deserved meal. Overall, they handed over 2.5 days worth of food which was a big boost to our confidence. They were soon off and on their way back to the landing strip as we pondered the potential for a few more storm days. It was a bit later night than normal and we were in bed at 2100.
