Phipps Pass

July, 2005

 

This was going to be the Desolation Super-Mondo Epic of the season, but Expedition Forces came under heavy predation by mosquitos. With air temperature, humidity and casualties all running high, and type O Positive plasma in short supply, the Expedition was obliged to retreat, taking an unplanned emergency route out.
