January 12th - 11,150 feet. Lonnie continues to make good progress, he is at the base of Motorcycle hill today. His plan is to make it to 12,900 by the end of the day. This is just below Windy Corner an area that is notorious for high winds. The weather forecast is for lighter winds and colder temperatures for later in the week. Today's picture is of the colorful wands with reflective tape that Lonnie is placing as he goes, that way he will be able to follow them down (like a trail of bread crumbs) on his descent. Lonnie is in good spirits, and he said his body only hurts when he sits or lays down!!!
Good luck Lonnie-Looks like the weather is on your side for now. Make tracks while you can.
