Windy, windy night with snow squalls and chaotic weather outside the tent, such that a number of the sleds were actually buried in the snow when we got up this morning. However, as has become the case with the weather magnet Diego, we woke to a sunny but cold day. As we skied, it continued to be sunny through the day. I am feeling much and pulled my own weight today.<\/p>\n

The first part of the skiing today was over terrain that was all higgledy-piggledy with drifts and little ups and little downs, which made the walk quite strenuous.<\/p>\n

Half way into the third push, like an oasis to a thirsty man crossing the Sahara desert, we were able to see some of the out buildings at the South Pole. I have to say this is very uplifting for everybody and gave everyone more energy to move forward.<\/p>\n

We rolled into camp and set up tents. The guides had special treat for us. They erected the group tent again and served us steak, potatoes, and vegetables. It was delicious.<\/p>\n

Following that, it was the usual rivaled talk and laugher. Brien, who is a performer, gave a number of soliloquies of American poets adventure-based poems. It was highly entertaining.<\/p>\n

Now we\u2019re all just tucking in for the night knowing that tomorrow we will achieve the South Pole.<\/p>\n
