Heidi emailed this morning to say that she and the boys are heading up to a small resort called Penitentes, where they will assemble and further organize all their food and supplies for the mules to carry in to Base Camp.
The road up to Penitentes passes through a high desert town called Uspallata, made famous (locally) because Brad Pitt and crew filmed the movie version of Seven Years in Tibet outside the town.
They will be busy weighing their duffels and hard-sided blue barrels so as to more equitably distribute the kit amongst the mules. Tonight they will eat a nice dinner and try to get some sleep before heading to the trailhead at the mouth of the Rio Vacas tomorrow.
