DYE 2 and beyond!

CP reports that before starting a full day of travel, the team had the opportunity to explore the abandoned DYE-2 radar station. After spending a couple of hours touring this massive facility—including the giant radar antenna dome, barracks, and kitchen—they headed out into pleasant winter weather. The conditions were cold and mostly calm under overcast skies. With a firm, fast surface, the team covered nearly 18 km and crossed the 7,000-foot elevation mark. They now have less than a thousand vertical feet to climb before their GPS elevation begins to descend toward the east coast. With stable weather holding, they expect to reach the summit within the next few days.
