Back in Puente del Inca

Wes and Dan are back at Puente del Inca. They left base camp today at noon. They arrived at Puente del Inca at about 7:30 p.m. It actually was a 20 mile hike out instead of 15 miles. However, this is still shorter than their hike in on the route to Plaza Argentina. They got to see two sides of Aconcagua by climbing the Polish Glacier Route and coming down the Normal Route. The weather was pretty nice. When they got to the ranger station they met a guy named Jeff who guided a blind climber up Everest. Wes said he was an interesting guy. Jeff offered to give Wes and Dan a lift to Puente del Inca so they saved about three miles of hiking. Dan was enjoying a shower when Wes called. I'm sure both guys will be glad to sleep in their own beds tonight and not have to be squashed into a two man tent anymore. Tomorrow the guys will be heading out to Mendoza.
