July 24th: Big Descent and Big Leeches

by Phill Michael

Satellite Connection!

Episode 2 of our podcast is posted at www.secretspot.tv ! Check it out!

Well...well...it looks like we could be without a source of electricity for the next seven days! %^/

The main switching station is down and we are right next to it. Soooo...there won't be likely be any power past here either.

I'm running on limited battery power right now...so this will be quick.

We descended from Deurali today and now find ourselves at Thadi Khola. We left Deurali around 4pm and slithered down a rough and slippery path for about 1100m (3608ft)...and now I'm having a cola by candlelight on the banks of a rushing river.

I just pulled a huge leech out of my shorts that was feasting on my upper thigh. Lovely. %^]

I might not be able to do any more updates for the next week or so, due to not having a power source to charge the laptop batteries, but I should still be able to call into the Loose Cannons on Friday afternoon (July 27th at 3pm PST). The satellite modem/phone batteries are quite stout, so they might carry me through until the next charging station?!

Time will tell...as it always does...%^)
