Yesterday we trekked a little above tree line to the line of rock, snow and ice. We’re well on our way to Everest Base Camp. Tomorrow we’ll be going to Gorak Shep. And tomorrow morning, we’ll take a quick look at the whole Everest Base Camp Region, all of the way up to the summit of Everest and Lohtse and Nuptse and the other beautiful mountains surrounding the Everest Base Camp. Following that, we’ll trek on up to Base Camp where we’ll be for the next 6 to 8 weeks.
Just wanted to let you know that we may have to go off line for a little bit here. We’ll get back online as quickly as we can. When we’re able to get back online we’ll give you lots of lots of information on what the experience has been like up until that point.
I hope everything is going well back in
Bye,

Scott, you are awesome. I was at the Cape for the STS-120 launch. I figured that was enough adventure for anyone in a lifetime. Apparently not! Has any other astronaut climbed Everest? If not, you will have had the greatest views of the Earth of any one person in history. What's next? Journey to the bottom of the sea?
Best wishes and safety to you, your sherpas and crew.

Hi Scott!
We met during STS-120 Visit in Torino Italy.
Remember that I've told you that you have no more free space on your space suit for new missions patch...?! So where will you put the EVEREST Patch now...:-)?
Enjoy your climb over the Everest.

Hey Scott--
Looks as things are going well for you guys. We are watching closely, of course..., always looking for the latest.
By the way - we made our decision on the job front: we'll be neighbors soon, moving to Houston in July for the new job. You take care out there (I am envious, of course), see you soon!
