The team reports some good news. After 3 days of snow storms and being stuck in the same place, hey have been given a forecast of good weather for the next few days! It cleared up this afternoon and they spent about 3 hours digging out camp and packing as much as they could to enable a 4am wake-up, with the intent that they will pack and hit the "road" by ~6am, get to ACT11-A by the afternoon, and start drilling ACT11-C by late afternoon.
Further, it has snowed enough that the debilitating sastrugi are covered and it is smooth driving. Evan said there is a chance the ACT11-A cores could be picked up on Sunday, so he states it is "go time." Needless to say they are motivated to... move.
