January 27th -Day 21- Descending to Base Camp
12:30 PM Alaska time

I just received this picture of Lonnie beginning his descent to 7200 Base Camp.  Lonnie is on his descent to Base Camp and if all goes well plans on arriving this evening.  If the weather cooperates we will schedule a air craft pickup with Talkeetna Air Taxi tomorrow or the next day.  Lonnie is in good spirits and is looking forward to be picked up off the Kahiltna Glacier soon.

Here are some of the links that you can check out that have followed Lonnie's progress on his attempt to be the first to solo Denali in January.  Just do a search for "dupre" on each site.
