Hanging out at Vinson Base Camp

The clouds hung over Vinson Base Camp again today so the planes couldn't fly in to carry our climbers back to Patriot Hills where they will catch their flight back to Chile. So they're hanging out for another day in camp, waiting for the weather to change. Don't feel too bad for them, they are getting lots of time to read books, sleep in, and socialize with the 20 other climbers from around the world that are with them at Base Camp. They had grilled cheese sandwiches with soup for lunch, and Tamales with Chilean Wine for dinner. Sounds like they are living pretty well for being in Antarctica. We'll update when we hear anything new, but they are hoping to fly tommorow if the clouds clear just a bit.
