January 23rd - Day 17 Pinned Down by High Winds

January 23rd - Day 17
12:51 PM Alaska Time

The weather is the story today. 
Here is the latest from Paul.  "The low to the south is moving north and will seriously effect the wx on the mountain over the next few days. Lonnie should know there could be over 100 mile per winds lashing the mountain starting tomorrow.  He will most likely have to stay where he is for a while and may need to secure his position."  It looks as if that this weather system will be with us for the next few days.

Lonnie is dug in and prepared to wait out the storm.  Patience is the key right now.  He cant move up or down in these conditions.   I Talked with him this morning and he is doing well.  As you heard on his audio update Lonnie indeed feel the effects of a 5.4 magnitude earthquake being only a few miles from its epicenter.  You can do a google search under "alsaka earthquake activity" to find out its exact location.


UPWARD-PATIENCE
