Having gone up into the Andes Mountains in Chile just after Thanksgiving, and spending 3 weeks without access to phone, text, TV,or email, Its both a pleasure and a shock to be back in a city.
I cant say 'Back in Civilization" because the Base Camp at Laguna Negra might have been the most "Civilized" place I have ever been: Working in the shadows of glaciers with a dozen or more NASA Scientists preparing for a Robotic Exploration of other planets, Eating Expedition Cuisine with them in a Dome Tent while listening to classical music drowned out by the roaring wind, while helping to assemble a prototype future spacecraft that thinks for itself is not what I call Uncivilized.
None the less, a hot bath, a traditional meal, and a soft bed was not unappreciated.
Ill post a few fotos of the Expedition Right Away, andtry to share some of the action that I didnt post on the Planetary Lake Lander Website.
All the best,
Eric
