Today we had to take a trip to start packing some of our equipment away, so on the way home, we stopped at the Scott Base sign post.
Ooh! They have camping, picnic, dining and even docking facilities! (Can you find Goldbug in this picture? AKA, Hugh)Later this evening we hiked to the top of Observation (Ob) Hill. It was a spectacular night. Beautiful sky, and beautiful station. The hike was a bit rough for me, what with the asthma and all, but we made it to the top and got some amazing pictures.
As we hiked higher and higher, I took pictures to mark our progress. Here is Hugh and the station below him.
And here we are together about mid way up the hill.
Finally, we made it to the top. Where's Hugh? (There sure are a lot of crosses around station.) Isn't it beautiful?
Because Hugh didn't get any pictures at Happy Camper, I wanted to make sure we got one in front of Mount Erebus.
It was a great hike. And the best part was: we got to slide down the whole thing coming down. Weeeee!Next post = Last post from the Ice. :-(

Well. Leslie, it looks like you and Hugh's excellent adventure is winding down. I love these pictures of you; you look radiant, happy, and like you spent the last few months doing some wild and crazy things in Antarctica. Oh wait; you have!
Whatever is in the water there, bring some back because it certainly agrees with you.
Wow Leslie - crazy that your adventure on the ice is already almost over! Enjoy these last couple of days! Are you going to take a picture with the McMurdo sign?
