# Hairy moments

Can understand how those ridges and leads must have been driving you potty before the pans appeared. At last, on the flat people are happy people.

THought of you lots from my hammock by the Sea of Cortez and now from a rather soggy London. How long your beard must be by now. On my Snickers SP jape, I used to look at the hair on my legs and wander if they could grow any longer. Enough, our missives are supposed to keep YOU entertained, but it would seem that your sparkling disptaches are holding a better public rating than Big Brother over here. Just publish them wihout any tweaks and you've got a sella there ma boi.

So keep us going over here, it can be jolly hard work,stresseful and depressing, your epistolary masterpieces are the best rations for soul food. Don't forget us, it can be lonely in the crowds....

God speed

# Air Guitar

Hi, Ben
Anticipation, for the first-shot ever of an air guitar, from the Arctic! Dude, that would be way far out, Ben's solo session directly from the North Pole. Motor on...
Best,
-Scot

# Good going.

Glad to read you had a most excellent day, given how it had started; I believe you mentioned white-out conditions. Hope you have more 'old ice' ahead. It's all downhill from the pole!

# You show RESPECT

Ben:
Mother nature demands respect and you seem to show RESPECT naturally, intuitively. The intimate relationship you have with her, has helped to shape the Ben we have come to know. Your problem-solving, your patience, your tender concerns for her are lessons we learn each day as we are allowed to experience this expedition with you, Ben.

The Arctic Mother has had and will have many more challenges (and lessons) for you but, be assured we cheer you on at every toss and turn!

Now, we encourage you and altogether we send you strong thoughts of many pans with the gentle wind at your back.
Cissy,
Texas

# North Pole

I am reading on thepoles.com that Camp Borneo is staying open until May 5th. Does Ben intend to carry on with his adventure after this date or will it be too dangerous? If he had a accident how would he get rescued up from the ice if the Borneo Camp is closed? How many days food did Ben have given at the resupply? Enough to get to Canada or just the Pole? Please answer these questions. All the people of Norway wants to know Ben's plans!

# Well, bravo!

Finally, a good day. Good for you! We who regularly follow you on your journey feel your disappointment when it's a tough day, and your elation when it's a good one. It's so nice to see a photo that looks calm, as opposed to the ones with all the rubble or an endless expanse of water.

Good distance today - I get excited everytime I look at the route map and see that the beacon has moved closer to the pole. How great it's going to be when you reach it! I can barely contain my excitement just thinking about it. We'll have to have a party on the message board!

I hope tomorrow goes just as well for you as today has. Press on!

# Good going!

Awesome! 14 miles is huge, especially with a full sled following your re-supply. By the way, how many days food did you take at the re-supply? Is there any chance of a second re-supply between now and reaching Canada or is it now "do or die"?

# Good things come to those that wait...

Patiently! You have waited long enough for wonderful pans such as those described. You have earned every NM you covered today and I am sending you -15 degrees C temperatures, no white outs, and wonderful pans until the end of your journey! You are doing a great job ~ even though you forgot to mention Valeria....I am sure she is still rooting for you, just like we are! Can't wait to read your next uplifitng dispatch~look forward to them daily. Keep up the fast pace and hope you saved those undies for auction (along with your socks....could be the makings of a good fundraiser for your next expedition)!
