Hello Aaron in Antarctica day 32.Camp position South 82 degrees 04 decimal 179 minutes, position West 079 degrees56 decimal 947 minutes. Time traveled 10 hours, distance 10 miles. Oh my gosh what a punishing day, fortunatley the weather was super nice, the slightest breeze from the South West, but I had to travel to the East to get out of a real dangerous zone, cause about 60 nautical miles to where I was headed was a known crevasse zone so. I didn’t want to end up there and also this is where I’m actually gonna drop my only cache on this trip, I’m gonna drop a cache to be deposited at 85 degrees and 87.4 degrees. That will allow me to drop a huge amount of weight here, probably 60 to 70 pounds and get rid of some trash and what not which is really nice. This is all an attempt to get my speed up as I head towards the South Pole cause well….do 10 hour days to get 10 miles and keep doing that so this should make a big big difference for me. That’ll actually be pretty nice. It’s amazing how difficult it is to travel across sastrugi rather than with it or against it, I mean going across the grain of that stuff’s unimaginable cause you can’t see when it’s good and when it’s bad and if it’s easy to travel across or not. So yea, it definitely pummled me going. Fortunately Charlie Red transformed sled with skis didn’t die yet. And also being over here allows me to travel on what they call the road.
