Weather Improving: 6th or 7th looks promising for departure

Talkeetna:  The Weather is slowly improving.  We had a briefing with our pilot this morning and it is looking good for a Thursday or Friday departure.  With the heavy snow of the last couple days it looks like we will be able to land on the glacier fine and get Lonnie on his way, but we will likely stay overnight and snowshoe a runway on the glacier (depending on snow density and depth this may take 8-12 hours) so that we can get enough lift to takeoff.
