Don's Home Team Reports:

Travel Guard informed us that they received confirmation that Don has finally been flown to Skardu.  As you all know, Pakistan is experiencing devasting and destructive flooding. The Karakorum highway, which is the only road out of that region,  is  blocked and so all climbers and trekkers stuck in Skardu must be flown out. 

We hope to hear from Don soon.
