Well we are on the ice. It is about – 30 and windchill so tough to type. I think this will be par for the course for the next 10 days…highlights<\/div>\n
Plane ride in was amazing – about 2.5 hours smooth ride – Had a chat with the pilots – great – let me sit up in the cockpit for a while – great view. Landed and had about 1.5 hours at Barneo – great soup, coffee and cookies – the best was the porta potty with sign reading next toilet 1500 km!!<\/div>\n
Then we boarded the helicopter and took off to our starting point. landed at 89 on the nose – and all of a suddden we were completely alone – the helicopter took off and it was unbelievable – felt like I was on the moon…..landscape was amazing. <\/div>\n
Now we are at 89 degrees 4.1 minutes – so we skied for 3 hours and covered only 4 miles – over typical terain. Gives you an idea what we have to do to cover 60 miles to pole, let alone drift and obstacles, open water…..wind howling as we set camp – almost lost one of the tents – now though we are inside – Keith has stove on – we have cocoa and dinner is getting fired up. Dale is so strong it is amazing.<\/div>\n
Thanks Stacey for the great Easter Candies!!!! That’s all for now – I will update temperature, longitude and latitude daily as well as some info on camp life!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
