Picture of the week 45

Pictured here, taken from inside our tent, is our waiter August at Crater Camp announcing that our dinner was ready in the mess tent. Behind him are the beautifully iconic Furtwrangler Glacier and one of the cinder cones protecting the Reusch Crater.

As I’ve shared in other posts this year, the long shadows and stunning topography is easier to contemplate and appreciate now, after the trip, owning to the lack of oxygen for our flatlander brains at 18,400 ft. At this particular campsite, we were quite content and happy to simply be told what to do.
