On the Trail!

Todd called this evening from "Pampa de Lenas" which is the first camp on the 3 day approach hike to base camp.  They'll be travelling up the Vacas valley for the next couple of days with mules carrying their gear for the expedition.    The first 3 days of the trip are a very enjoyable hike with just a day pack up a beautiful valley to the Plaza Argentina base camp.  

They enjoyed a steak dinner tonight cooked by the mule drivers (Arieros en espanol).   They were in camp about 5 1/2 hours after leaving the trailhead today.  

We'll continue to post updates from the home office in Ophir, Colorado as they call in from their expedition.
