Finally, another post. I know it's been a while. I've been super busy with work. I've done two trips up to Prudhoe Bay so far. It's a seven day round trip and I'm without cell service or computer access for two days. That's not really a bad thing.
The drive is 500 miles to the north of Fairbanks. We stay the night in Coldfoot, which is nothing more than construction trailers that have been turned into "hotel" rooms. It's not much to look at but it's clean, great beds and the people there very nice. Deadhorse is a work camp, no one lives there. They just rotate through every two weeks. It's a cool place, tho. I like it. I'm hoping to find a job there before summer is over. By being up there I'm trying to make contacts and connections. Hopefully something will work out. I leave on Wednesday to head north again.
I had a flat tire yesterday on the way back to Fairbanks. Luckily, it happened in the parking lot in Coldfoot. There is actually a repair shop there so I was able to get them to change it for me. Took all of 20 minutes. It's amazing how much faster it goes with power tools! It would have taken me an hour to do on my own on the side of the road.
My stuff has finally arrived from Seattle! Yippee!!! However it's not in my cabin yet. I called today and they'll be delivering it on Wednesday. Hopefully Missy will be able to meet them and let them in.
I seriously don't have much else to write about. It's a good, busy summer. I'm getting some great pictures of animals. I have yet to see my first bear of the summer. Hopefully soon, tho!
