At base camp Chet and I worked on the paths around our tents. I also emptied my tent and moved it so I could re-level the area as Chet had previously with his tent. It was good to get it cleaned out and re organized. After all of the rock work I got a shower before lunch time. It helped to have something to do to pass the time.
We should now be able to keep up better with the cyber cast and also check emails on a regular basis. We will also be able to use the SAT phone again from our camp. Everest base camp military occupation will be over!!!!
The email address I will be checking is dick_morse@live.com

Our short term schedule is for the Sherpa’s to go up to camp two tomorrow. They will carry gear up to camp three on 10th and set up two tents. I will go back up to camp two on the 10th or 11th and than on to camp three for at least one night. After that I will come back to base camp to rest for a few days. Finally we will pick our summit window and head up.
