Forest called at 1:00 pm on June 1^st with this dispatch:

“Hello! This is Forest calling to give another dispatch. We’re on Day 4 here, and just did a cache carry yesterday. Right now, we’re relaxing in the sunshine and mid-day warmth. It’s really nice. This Team is on an evening schedule and we’re moving when it’s cooler – I think we’re just happier to be traveling out of the sun! We’ll leave camp around 6 o’clock tonight and go up to Camp 2. Everyone is doing great. We had one blistered toe but that was taken care of. As far as the weather outlook, it looks so-so. We expect a little snow, but nothing severe. There may be some snow accumulation up top when we arrive. Ok, that’s all for now. Take care.”
