Welcome to Beautiful Motorcycle Hill

Good Evening Climbing Followers,

Current Location: 10947 Feet

Motorcycle hill where April and Bobby are currently resting is a 600 foot hill and is the steepest part of the mountain while you are using your sleds. The angle is steep enough to where you have to duck walk in order to properly climb it.  Tomorrow is an active rest day during which they will drop back down and pick up the cache.  Cache is a hidden stash of food or supplies that left along a trail for return use or for future use.  This is a common practice to lighten up the load. Rest up climbers!! 

A note to April:

Dave showed Dominic your picture today on the website and Dominic pointed to your picture and blew you several kisses.  He misses his Auntie!!
