Expedition

I'm now 17 days into the experimental journey to the south pole. The weather here is awfully cold, sometimes registering downwards of -50 degrees with wind chill. I thought I could continue forward on the expedition but I've come to a standstill. I've been trapped in our makeshift shelter for 4 days now.

Our dog sled still runs but it's just too cold to go out. The food we had is getting scarce. We may have to resort to bow hunting ramen noodles & PB&J.

I do have my trusty companion, Buddy, to help keep me warm. Unfortunately, it's so cold outside that wild animals keep trying to stay inside with us. Fortunately, if I can trap them and pack them a sack lunch, the boy's & girls club will take them until they can be released safely back into the wild.
