Clifford Cliftops says "Hello down there."  He told me while we were resting how the weather couldn't be better for today's hike.  He has been hiking this mountain, bringing the crew supplies for more then 8 years.  LLama wrangler Alan said he is his all time favorite. 
Yesterday's low was 27, and the high was 41 degrees.  We didn't receive any precipitation.  Today is shaping up to be a lovely day.  Clear skies and a very light breeze.  For ya'll that get the privilege to hike today....I'm jealous!  Hanging around camp isn't all that bad, but I wish I was hiking.  I've been soaking up as much sun as possible, and I feel like a new man.  Life is good!

I'd like to know the names of all the llamas! I remember that there was one named Steve. :)

I am very impressed by Clifford's stamina. There is no way that I could hike LeConte three days a week for eight years. Way to go, Cliff!

So Clifford hikes 3 times a week, which means he gets LeConte pancakes 3 times a week, for, say, 32 weeks a year, for 8 years... sounds like a pretty good deal to me. My only question is how many pancakes does each llama get for their midday meal? That would allow me to better calculate his pancake consumption. Who eats more pancakes each year... Clifford... or the rest of us who log in here each day?

Actually there are two crews of llamas. They alternate, Team A, Team B, Team A, Team B. . .

OK, that means I need to divide my estimate in half.. but it's still a lot of LeConte Flapjacks!!!
