More photos and story

The following photos start with the ground transports to get supplies as far up the mountain as they could. There are also photos of the men snowshoeing up the mountain.
Uncle Mike told me that they had to be tied together so if they fell into a crevasse they could be pulled out.
Aunt Lois remembered that Mike saved another man's feet from frostbite by putting his cold feet on Mike's stomach. Having grown up in Norway Mike was uniquely suited for this journey, having spend his childhood and young adult years in the remote north. 
The photos go on to show the plane wreckage, plane supply drops and the journey back.
 Mike told us that it took weeks to get up the mountain but on the journey back Mike and one other man were allow to ski back so they got back down the mountain in half the time (or less) than it took all the other men. They spend their extra days enjoying the lodge at the base of Mt. McKinley while they waited for the rest of the men to get back.
